Mother; silent (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mum

I believe this is a double definition.

'mother' is the first definition.
(informal term for mother)

'silent' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for mum that I've seen before include "Mother - she's the word for secrecy" , "Parent (who's kept or is the word!)" , "Mother (colloq.)" , "old lady" , "Parent - shtoom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
