Conductor's stick (5)
I believe the answer is:
baton
'conductor's stick' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for baton that I've seen before include "weapon" , "Policeman's truncheon" , "A conductor wields it - or a policemen" , "Conductor wields it - or a policeman" , "Relay race stick" .)
