Concession from shop husband missed (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sop

'concession' is the definition.
(I know that sop is a type of concession)

'shop husband missed' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'missed' suggests deleting specific letters.
'shop' with 'h' taken away is 'SOP'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sop that I've seen before include "Concession of philosophy" , "usual way of doing things, initially" , "Bread dipped in gravy" , "Appeasing bribe" , "Propitiatory offering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
