Ross

I believe the answer is:

systemic

(Other definitions for systemic that I've seen before include "Relating to the whole organism" , "Affecting a body, institution, etc as a whole" , "City mess (anag)" , "My sect is concerned with affecting the whole body" , "Relating to a complex whole" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
