Low temperature is subject to debate (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moot

'subject to debate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'low temperature' is the wordplay.
'low' becomes 'moo' ('moo' can be a synonym of 'low').
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'moo'+'t'='MOOT'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for moot that I've seen before include "raise for discussion" , "Open to argument or debate" , "Propose for discussion" , "Anglo-Saxon assembly; subject to debate" , "Such a point is arguable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
