Hissing firework (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squib

(Other definitions for squib that I've seen before include "little banger" , "Firework (perhaps damp!)" , "one burns before producing report" , "Firework (disappointing, if damp)" , "Small hissing firework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Wall Street Journal and The Times.
