Manhattan component (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rye

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rye that I've seen before include "Grass - whiskey" , "E. Sussex town; cereal" , "East Sussex resort" , "Cereal grain" , "Whiskey (US)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
