Egyptian viper (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asp

'egyptian viper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for asp that I've seen before include "One secreting poison" , "Snake of the Nile" , "Slithery thing" , "Cleopatra's supposed nemesis" , "Reptile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times and The New York Times.
