Matey's greeting (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ahoy

'matey's greeting' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ahoy that I've seen before include "(Nautical) hailing call" , "Hail at sea" , "Coastal land" , "Sailor's shout for attention" , "Naval call for attention" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the New York Times and the Universal.
