High explosive (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gelignite

'high explosive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gelignite that I've seen before include "High explosive" , "factor in altering mine?" , "Explosive used in mining" , "source of flare-up" , "Tieing leg up in explosive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the USA Today, The Times and The Mirror.
