A strainer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sieve

'a strainer' is the definition.
(sieve is a kind of strainer)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sieve that I've seen before include "Craft for Jumblies" , "Separate" , "Riddle, strain" , "Jumblies' vessel" , "Utensil for straining or sifting food" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
