Asparagus unit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spear

'asparagus unit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spear that I've seen before include "Portion of asparagus" , "Sharp weapon" , "Stabbing, throwing, weapon" , "Asparagus shoot" , "asparagus for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Penny Press, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The Star Tribune.
