Oddly, team lick white powder (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talc

'white powder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'oddly team lick' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters.
'team'+'lick'='teamlick'
The alternate letters of 'teamlick' are 'TALC'.

(Other definitions for talc that I've seen before include "Soft stuff" , "Softest mineral on Mohs hardness scale" , "Soft white powder" , "(Mineral providing) powder" , "Bathroom powder (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
