Initial stake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'initial stake' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "Advance stake" , "Money for poker" , "Hoofed mammal" , "Each player's initial contribution to the pot" , "Preceding birth" .)

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