Hangman's ropes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nooses

'hangman's ropes' is the definition.
('noose' can be a synonym of 'hangman's rope')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nooses that I've seen before include "Loops in lariats" , "Loops for the hangman" , "Running loops" , "Rope loops with tightening knots" , "Loops in cowboy ropes" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
