Soot particle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smut

'soot particle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for smut that I've seen before include "(Speck) of dirt" , "(Small piece of ) filth" , "Soot flake or sexual innuendo" , "Mild obscenity" , "Sooty matter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and the Thinks.com.
