Very short word (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

monosyllable

(Other definitions for monosyllable that I've seen before include "Word such as "yes" or "no"" , "Briefest possible utterance" , "Moll's baloney (anag.)" , "Word of one sound unit" , "Short word, such as "short" or "word"" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
