Ross

I believe the answer is:

catapult

(Other definitions for catapult that I've seen before include "Forked-stick launcher" , "Ancient war machine" , "Y-shaped stick with elastic between the arms" , "Simple elastic device for shooting projectiles" , "Ancient weapon to fire stones" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
