Gala throwaway (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

core

(Other definitions for core that I've seen before include "The centre of an object" , "Heart of the matter" , "The innermost part" , "Central or most important part of something" , "Drilled rock sample" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
