Brit.

/ˌrɒs ˈrʌɪfl/, U.S.

/ˌrɑs ˈraɪf(ə)l/,

/ˌrɔs ˈraɪf(ə)l/

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Ross , rifle n.³

Etymology: < the name of Sir Charles H. A. F. L. Ross (1872–1942), Scottish-born engineer and soldier + rifle n.³

Now historical.

A type of straight-draw, bolt-action rifle used principally by the Canadian Army, esp. in the First World War (1914–18).Originally designed as a sporting rifle, the military versions were typically regarded as heavy and difficult to use, though well-adapted for marksmen.
