Oily compound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lipid

'oily compound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lipid that I've seen before include "Organic compound" , "Oil, say" , "oily substance" , "One of the essential structural components of living cells" , "Insoluble fatty acid" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
