Try written composition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

essay

This clue is a double definition.

'try' is the first definition.
('essay' can be a synonym of 'try')

'written composition' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for essay that I've seen before include "Attempt - written work" , "Test" , "example of Hazlitt's work" , "School composition" , "Short literary piece: attempt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
