Sound of spring? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boing

'sound of spring?' is the definition.
(onomatopoeic representation of a spring's sound)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for boing that I've seen before include "Sound made by a spring" , "as spring goes" , "As spring sounds" , "is dull? Not right" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
