Beetle considered sacred in Ancient Egypt (6)

I believe the answer is:

scarab

(Other definitions for scarab that I've seen before include "Holy beetle" , "divine creature" , "Egyptian stone" , "Beetle revered in ancient Egypt" , "old lucky charm" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and The Times.
