Oxford opening (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyelet

(Other definitions for eyelet that I've seen before include "Metal ring reinforcing a small round hole in fabric" , "One caught by hook" , "Small hole as in needle or shoe" , "It is tiny place" , "Small ring, for shoelace perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
