Waxy organic compound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sterol

'waxy organic compound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sterol that I've seen before include "Chemical compound; ostler (anag.)" , "Ostler (anag) - natural alcohol" , "Waxy stuff" , "Solid form of alcohol" , "substance that doesn't dissolve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
