Spring's shape (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coil

'spring's shape' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for coil that I've seen before include "Series of concentric circles" , "Wound length (of rope)" , "Wind (wire, rope, etc)" , "Curl, loop" , "Convolute" .)

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