Auxiliary spear carrier (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

This clue is a double definition.

'auxiliary' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'spear carrier' is the second definition.
('extra' can be a synonym of 'spear carrier')

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Sundry" , "Accessory" , "particularly" , "fortuitous run" , "person in shot?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
