Fresh weight revealed by famous scientist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newton

'famous scientist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fresh weight' is the wordplay.
'fresh' becomes 'new' (associated in meaning).
'weight' becomes 'ton' (unit of weight).
'new'+'ton'='NEWTON'

'revealed by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for newton that I've seen before include "Explainer of gravity" , "Famous scientist" , "He discovered the law of gravity" , "Formulator of the law of gravitation, d. 1727" , "He is said to have discovered gravity" .)
