Oft-contracted address (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madam

(Other definitions for madam that I've seen before include "Leader of House of Congress" , "Formal address to a woman - precocious little girl" , "Palindrome used in speaking politely to a woman" , "Conceited girl (colloq.)" , "How one may address a woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
