Refuge in the desert (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oasis

'refuge in the desert' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for oasis that I've seen before include "place of relief" , "Place of calm in troubled times" , "Fertile patch in a desert" , "beauty spot" , "Q-and-A game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the New York Times, the Universal and the USA Today.
