Tactic (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ploy

'tactic' is the definition.
(a ploy is a tactic or scheme)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ploy that I've seen before include "Ruse or gimmick" , "Tactical scheme" , "Cunning tactic" , "Cunning manoeuvre to gain advantage" , "Ruse, stratagem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate and The Telegraph.
