Etymology concern (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

root

'etymology concern' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for root that I've seen before include "Eg, turnip or carrot" , "support" , "Origin - stem" , "Derivation" , "Turn up with the snout." .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
