Barbed spear (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harpoon

'barbed spear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for harpoon that I've seen before include "Lance" , "Spear used in hunting whales" , "Spear with a line attached for fishing" , "Whale-hunting spear" , "Whaler's weapon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.
