Job very much linked to this card game (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patience

This clue is a double definition.

'job very much linked to this' is the first definition.
(the biblical figure Job was very patient)

'card game' is the second definition.
(patience is a kind of card game)

(Other definitions for patience that I've seen before include "that one plays" , "Game, tolerance of delay" , "G & S opera" , "bird, some might say" , "restraint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
