Part of a ladder (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

step

rung

'part of a ladder' is the definition.
('rung' is part of 'ladder')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rung that I've seen before include "Telephoned" , "Crosspiece of a ladder" , "Horizontal bar in ladder" , "support for foot" , "spoke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
