Revenge or greed, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motive

(Other definitions for motive that I've seen before include "Reason for doing something, perhaps a crime" , "Incitement to do something" , "Purpose in doing something" , "Inspiration" , "Underlying intention" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
