Nub (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gist

'nub' is the definition.
(I know that nub can be written as gist)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gist that I've seen before include "Significance" , "Main points" , "The pitch on the matter" , "Essential point or meaning of, say, the matter" , "Drift" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
