Second son (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abel

'second son' is the definition.
(second son of Adam and Eve)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for abel that I've seen before include "Biblical murder victim" , "Early man equipped" , "Bale out with murder victim" , "one killed early" , "The first murderee?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Wall Street Journal.
