Fit for the task (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'fit for the task' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for able that I've seen before include "- -bodied; - seaman" , "Having the skills and qualifications required" , "Competent, capable" , "Gifted" , "... was I ere I saw Elba (palindrome)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, The New York Times, the Universal and the Newsday.
