For a __ pittance (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Without additions or modifications" , "Lake (poetic); Maori war club" , "bathing may be permitted in this?" , "Previously pure" , "Nothing more than a small pond" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
