Powdery residue (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

'powdery residue' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "Fire's remains" , "What's often left after something 1 Ac" , "Wooden" , "End of fire" , "at village near Whitchurch in Shropshire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, the Universal, the USA Today and the Newsday.com.
