Glowing coal (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ember

'glowing coal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ember that I've seen before include "Wood still burning" , "It glows in dying fire" , "Glowing coal; type of goose" , "Piece of live coal" , "Still smouldering fragment of wood or coal" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, The Telegraph, The Mirror, the USA Today, The Independent and The Times.
