Not glossy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matte

'not glossy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for matte that I've seen before include "Mask used to block out areas of the image in filming" , "Mask used to record two images on same film" , "Mask used in film; ET mat (anag.)" , "Mask used to add an image in front of camera" , "A dull finish" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate and The Guardian.
