With the subtraction of (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

minus

'with the subtraction of' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for minus that I've seen before include "Negative arithmetic operation" , "Lacking; negative" , "(Of temperature) below zero" , "Negative sign - negative thing" , "Less, without" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
