Crossword Genius

Sound from stage floor (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

base

faze

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

'sound from stage' is the wordplay.
'sound from' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'stage' becomes 'phase' (both can mean a part or period of something).
'phase' is a homophone of 'FAZE'.

(Other definitions for faze that I've seen before include "Disconcert, worry" , "Be disturbing" , "Disturb, disconcert" , "Throw from" , "Shake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
