Sally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sortie

'sally' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Attack by a besieged garrison" , "(Siege) breakout" , "Short trip; attack" , "Operational flight by a bomber or fighter" , "Offensive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
