Residue of fire (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ash

'residue of fire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ash that I've seen before include "Tree in danger" , "Hardwood" , "blonde" , ". . . . [FOREST] One of which" , "Powdery residue from fire or cigarette" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
