Nile viper (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asp

'nile viper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for asp that I've seen before include "Slithery thing" , "It proved deadly for Cleopatra" , "snake appears" , "Cleopatra-killing snake" , "Cleopatra's poisoner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
