Source of stability (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballast

(Other definitions for ballast that I've seen before include "Weight to stabilise a ship" , "Heavy material used to stabilise a ship" , "Material put into a ship to improve its stability" , "Balloon steadier" , "mixture for concrete" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
