Sprinkling

Ross

I believe the answer is:

few

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for few that I've seen before include "Relatively small number" , "Hardly anyone" , "Considerable number, ironically" , "Indefinite small amount" , "Not many, just a handful" .)

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