Not a positive denial (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

negative

This clue is a triple definition!

'not' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a positive' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'denial' is the third definition.
(I know that negative is a type of denial)

(Other definitions for negative that I've seen before include "Early form of photo" , "Less than positive" , "Piece of photographic film" , "Expressing or implying denial or refusal" , "veto" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
