Towards the stern of a ship (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abaft

'towards the stern of a ship' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abaft that I've seen before include "(Nautically) behind" , "Astern, at sea" , "nearer the stern" , "behind at sea" , "Towards the back (naut.)" .)
