Unit of prevention

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ounce

'unit of prevention' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ounce that I've seen before include "There are quite a few in the pound" , "Weight; big cat" , "Wild cat or light weight" , "little weight" , "Unit of weight; cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
