___ victory (gain in spite of a loss) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moral

(Other definitions for moral that I've seen before include "Underlying significance of a story or event" , "ethical principle" , "Relating to good and evil" , "Lesson of a fable" , "Upright; message of fable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
