Raise with ropes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hoist

'raise with ropes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hoist that I've seen before include "Elevate" , "Lift (mechanically)" , "Raise on pulleys" , "Winch" , "Wind up" .)

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