Shakespearean killer (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asp

'shakespearean killer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for asp that I've seen before include "Cleopatra's supposed nemesis" , "Snake seen in a spa, strangely" , "Cleopatra-killing snake" , "Venomous snake" , "Slithery thing" .)

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