Vital artery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'vital artery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aorta that I've seen before include "Large trunk artery" , "Heart's great artery" , "Main route from the heart" , "A rota (anag)" , "blood flows from it" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, The Mirror, the USA Today and The Washington Post.
