That's the spirit! (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

genie

ghost

'that's the spirit' is the definition.
(spirit can mean a ghost)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ghost that I've seen before include "author for someone" , "someone without much presence" , "Spectre, wraith" , "Apparition; faint trace" , "Spirit of the dead" .)

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