Waste matter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dross

'waste matter' is the definition.
(I know that dross is a type of waste matter)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dross that I've seen before include "Scum - dregs" , "Waste coal - rubbish" , "Something of inferior quality" , "Lees" , "Rubbish, scum" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
