Hidden obstacle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitfall

(Other definitions for pitfall that I've seen before include "Unsuspected danger or difficulty - for miner?" , "Unexpected problem" , "Trap in the form of a concealed hole" , "Hazard" , "Unforeseen difficulty" .)

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