Holding account for a down payment, say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escrow

(Other definitions for escrow that I've seen before include "conditional execution of deed" , "goods held by third party" , "Deed held by third party effective when a condition is met" , "Legal instrument" , "back-up security" .)

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