Leaven (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yeast

'leaven' is the definition.
(I know that yeast is a type of leaven)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for yeast that I've seen before include "Androgynous" , "Baker's ingredient" , "Leavening agent in bread-making" , "Dough raising agent" , "Rising agent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
