Carapace (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shell

'carapace' is the definition.
(I know that carapace can be written as shell)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shell that I've seen before include "Hard outer covering" , "Hard case; projectile" , "Bit of explosive" , "ammunition" , "See 18" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
