Smother, as with sauce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drown

(Other definitions for drown that I've seen before include "Die from submersion in liquid" , "Die by immersion in liquid" , "Perish in water" , "Die by inhaling liquid" , "Completely conceal" .)

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