Sharp response (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retort

(Other definitions for retort that I've seen before include "may be found in lab" , "A quick, sharp reply" , "Witty/sharp reply" , "Reply sharply, perhaps angrily" , "Answer back" .)

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