One way to be taken

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aback

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">one way to be taken</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for aback that I've seen before include "One is surprised when taken thus" , "To take someone -- is to surprise them" , "Sternwards" , "Towards the rear (arch.)" , "impeded by headwind?" .)

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