Coat of paint (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

layer

'coat of paint' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for layer that I've seen before include "Stratum, tier" , "course" , "One supplying eggs" , "Stratum or thickness" , "Stratum; chicken" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal, the Penny Press and The New York Times.
