Bird in current left to the end (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fowl

'bird' is the definition.
(synonyms)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for fowl that I've seen before include "eg hen" , "Cock or hen" , "Bird kept for eggs and meat" , "Domestic birds" , "Bird, maybe domestic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
