Broom (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

brush

besom

'broom' is the definition.
(besom is a kind of broom)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for besom that I've seen before include "Twiggy broom" , "Lazy woman" , "Rustic broom" , "cleaner?" , "sweeps with it?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the New York Times, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
