Microbe (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

germ

'microbe' is the definition.
(I know that microbe can be written as germ)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for germ that I've seen before include "Start of an idea" , "One causing disease" , "Rudiment" , "Shoot" , "starting point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the USA Today, The Times, the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Universal and The Telegraph.
