Ross

I believe the answer is:

essence

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for essence that I've seen before include "Vital part of something" , "Cologne, perhaps?" , "Concentration; nub" , "Concentrated liquid flavouring" , "Core, most vital part" .)

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