The price of freedom? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ransom

'the price of freedom?' is the definition.
(price of freedom demanded by a kidnapper)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ransom that I've seen before include "Payment for the release of someone" , "Payment, eg to kidnapper" , "Money paid for release of a hostage" , "Redeem" , "Romans (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
