Appendages of elfin size? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fins

'appendages' is the definition.
(fin is a kind of appendage)

'of elfin size?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'FINS' is hidden in the letters of 'elfin size'.

(Other definitions for fins that I've seen before include "Swimming gear" , "Fish have them" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
