Fishhook end (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

barb

(Other definitions for barb that I've seen before include "Arrowhead projection" , "Deliberately hurtful remark" , "Cutting remark" , "Pointed part - gibe" , "Aggressive remark intended to have a telling effect" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
