Sign of neglect (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dust

'sign of neglect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dust that I've seen before include "Do some housework - we all come to it!" , "Our mortal body" , "Sprinkle -- powder" , "Fine dirt particles" , "Powdery matter" .)

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