Pale wood (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

'pale wood' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "-- Wednesday" , "Wooden" , "Remains of conflagration" , "What's left of the fire" , "End of fire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
