Knot that cannot be untied (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gordian

(Other definitions for gordian that I've seen before include "The - - knot (mythology)" , "Legendary knot cut to solve problem" , "To cut the - knot is to solve a hard problem" , "Cut the ....... knot ot solve problem forcefully" , "involved" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
