To the sheltered side (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leeward

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">to the sheltered side</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(leeward means on the side protected from the wind)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for leeward that I've seen before include "Quarter towards which the wind blows" , "Draw eel (anag.)" , "On sice turned away from wind" , "Of ship, on side turned away from wind" , "WI island group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
