Figures maybe hot stuff (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cloth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stuff' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'figures maybe hot' is the wordplay.
'figures maybe' becomes 'clot' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hot' becomes 'h'.
'clot'+'h'='CLOTH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cloth that I've seen before include "Gingham, say" , "Sails" , "Textiles" , "The clergy" , "Woven material" .)
