Loop tied with a slipknot (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noose

(Other definitions for noose that I've seen before include "Loop with running knot" , "Loop formed by means of a slip knot" , "Loop in rope that tightens when pulled" , "Loop in a rope made with a slip knot" , "old execution method" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
