Cerumen (6)

I believe the answer is:

earwax

'cerumen' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for earwax that I've seen before include "Shell-like secretion" , "Waxy secretion impairing hearing" , "Soft yellow secretion - cerumen" , "Soft yellow substance secreted by glands of a certain organ" , "Otic secretion" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the USA Today, The Sunday Times, the Canadiana, The Independent, The Times, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate and The Telegraph.
