Release payment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ransom

'release payment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ransom that I've seen before include "Kidnapper's payoff" , "A kidnapper demands it" , "Kidnapper's demand" , "Payment demanded for release of captive" , "Rescue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
