Limiting factor (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parameter

'limiting factor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for parameter that I've seen before include "Limiting factor" , "Quantifiable characteristic of a system" , "Factor defining limits" , "One of a set of factors as conditions for operation of a system" , "Limitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Mirror.
