Sauce thickener (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roux

'sauce thickener' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for roux that I've seen before include "Fat, flour sauce base" , "Thickener for sauces" , "Mixture of fat and flour used as a base for sauces" , "Butter/flour mix" , "Butter and flour sauce combination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, the Newsday and The Guardian.
