Secreted slimy substance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mucus

(Other definitions for mucus that I've seen before include "Phlegm" , "Thick, slimy stuff" , "Slimy fluid secreted in the body" , "Slimy secreted bodily fluid" , "Protective secretion found in the gut, nose, throat and lungs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
