What that might be? (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relative pronoun

'be?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for relative pronoun that I've seen before include "It could be that" , "Maybe what" , "Say which" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
