Ross

I believe the answer is:

under

(Other definitions for under that I've seen before include "Subordinate to; planted with" , "One prepared to take over from leading actor" , "In a state of unconsciousness" , "Beneath or subordinate to" , "Governed by" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
