Nile snake (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asp

'nile snake' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for asp that I've seen before include "Snake, killed Cleopatra" , "Cleopatra's supposed nemesis" , "Reptile" , "Predatory fish" , "One secreting poison" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Star Tribune.
