___ meridiem (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Card-player's stake" , "Gaming stake" , "A neat sort of prefix" , "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" , "Stake put up before the deal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
