Supérieur, par exemple (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lac

'superieur par exemple' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lac that I've seen before include "Resin used to make varnish" , "Resinous substance an insect secretes" , "Resinous substance used in varnish" , "thousands from India" , "Huge sum" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily and The Washington Post.
