Of crucial importance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pivotal

'of crucial importance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pivotal that I've seen before include "Crucial, critical" , "Central - decisive" , "Crucially important" , "Of central importance" , "Of crucial importance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Evening Standard.
