Mechanical way to learn (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rote

(Other definitions for rote that I've seen before include "Way of learning" , "performance based solely on routine" , "By . . . . means by memory - that tore it" , "Memorisation by repetition" , "Learn by ____ (repetition)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
