Syrup base (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sap

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sap that I've seen before include "Juice; energy" , "Vital plant juice" , "Weaken; tree fluid" , "It's plant juice, idiot" , "One is easily fooled" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
