Ross

I believe the answer is:

sesame

(Other definitions for sesame that I've seen before include "Plant grown for its seeds" , "Opening word for the oilplant?" , "Source of seed and oil" , "Open . . . . . . is a magic phrase to gain entry" , "'Open . . . . . .'' is a magic phrase to gain access" .)

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