Element used in cryosurgery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

argon

(Other definitions for argon that I've seen before include "something inert and insubstantial" , "Gas, inert constituent of air" , "Gas, 1% of atmosphere" , "elementary" , "noble element" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
