Private eye (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tec

'private eye' is the definition.
(short for detective)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tec that I've seen before include "Detective (colloq.)" , "Busy" , "Investigator" , "CID officer (abbrev.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
