Auspices (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aegis

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">auspices</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for aegis that I've seen before include "strong defence" , "shelter" , "Backing or support" , "Protection - guardianship" , "Auspices" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Newsday and The Independent.
