Axis (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pivot

'axis' is the definition.
(pivot is a kind of axis)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pivot that I've seen before include "Central point around which mechanism moves" , "Fulcrum" , "Key figure" , "On which one turns" , "Central shaft" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Guardian, The Sun, The Telegraph and The Washington Post.
