Word-for-word (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

literal

'word-for-word' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for literal that I've seen before include "Unimaginative" , "A tiller (anag.)" , "Exact (translation)" , "According to the letter" , "Not figurative" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal and The Independent.
