I believe the answer is:

backbone

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">spine</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for backbone that I've seen before include "Spine or courage" , "Fortitude - protection for the spinal cord" , "Lt protects the spinal cord" , "Informal courage of spinal kind" , "Strength of character" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and The Sun.
