Proof-reader's instruction to leave a text as it is (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stet

(Other definitions for stet that I've seen before include "(On proofs) instruction to cancel a correction" , "Notation meaning leave as is, don't alter spelling" , "Let it remain (printing)" , "This must not be changed" , "Retainer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
