Inventor who coined the term "horsepower" (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

watt

(Other definitions for watt that I've seen before include "Engineer, coined the term horsepower, d. 1819" , "James - - (Scottish inventor)" , "man of power?" , "bit of power" , "Scottish engineer and inventor, d. 1819" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
