Fatty acid compound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oleate

'fatty acid compound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for oleate that I've seen before include "Ole! Eat up with kind of salt" , "Preparation of vegetable oil" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times.
