Tightly stretched (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taut

'tightly stretched' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for taut that I've seen before include "Fully stretched" , "Stretched, pulled tight" , "Stretched tight or disciplined" , "Pulled or drawn tight" , "Tightly drawn" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Times, the Universal, the Evening Standard, The Washington Post, the USA Today and The Star Tribune.
