Paucity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dearth

'paucity' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dearth that I've seen before include "In short supply" , "poverty" , "From shortage of food" , "Hatred (anag) -- shortage" , "Shortage, lack" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Sun, The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
