Syringa (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lilac

'syringa' is the definition.
(I know that syringa can be written as lilac)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lilac that I've seen before include "garden ornamental" , "Pinkish purple - shrub" , "Tree with purple or white flowers" , "Flowering tree of the olive family" , "Shade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
