Indirect reference (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allusion

'indirect reference' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for allusion that I've seen before include "Subtle reference" , "A brief or indirect reference to something" , "Passing reference or indirect mention" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
