Live coal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ember

'live coal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ember that I've seen before include "what causes a warm glow" , "Glowing remainder of a fire" , "Material in dying fire" , "Fire remnant" , "Burning coal" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Star Tribune.
