To the purpose (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apposite

'to the purpose' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for apposite that I've seen before include "A pit pose could be to the purpose" , "Suited for the purpose" , "Germane" , "Of a remark, appropriate for the occasion (8)" , "Meet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
