Salty droplet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tear

'salty droplet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "wrench" , "Lacerate - sign of sorrow" , "Rip - drop from eye" , "Lachrymal drop - rip" , "'A rip, binge or drop of saline solution (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Penny Press.
