Clean feathers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preen

'clean feathers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "Groom with elaborate care" , "(Of a bird) tidy and clean feathers" , "Tidy and clean (plumage)" , "Self-congratulate" , "Primp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Family Time and The Telegraph.
