Butcher scale deduction (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tare

(Other definitions for tare that I've seen before include "Vetch plant" , "Vehicle weight minus fuel and load" , "Variety of vetch" , "Weedy annual grass, often occurs in grainfields" , "Allowance for package weight; vetch" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
