Tear-jerking bulb (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onion

'tear-jerking bulb' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for onion that I've seen before include "Head (slang); vegetable" , "Hot dog topping" , "One may be set" , "Strong tasting vegetable" , "Pungent edible bulb of the lily family" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
