Old-time anesthetic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ether

'old-time anesthetic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ether that I've seen before include "number" , "Colourless liquid used as a solvent" , "Medium supposedly" , "Chemical solvent" , "There goes the anaesthetic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Universal.
