Metrical stress (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ictus

'metrical stress' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ictus that I've seen before include "Stroke" , "Is cut (anag.)" , "Sudden attack" , "Metrical stress" , "strokes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
