Lacking slack (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taut

'lacking slack' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for taut that I've seen before include "Fully stretched" , "Stretched, pulled tight" , "On the slope" , "Tense, stretched tight" , "Held in tension" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The New York Times.
