Star doesn't go conversing in Spanish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nova

'star' is the definition.
(I know that nova is a type of star)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for nova that I've seen before include "Kind of star" , "Star showing a sudden temporary increase in brightness" , "It shines" , "A new flaring star" , "Star that suddenly becomes brighter for a time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
