Cross swords, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fence

'cross swords say' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fence that I've seen before include "Beat about the bush" , "may be 21 down [CLEARED]" , "Thief's dealer" , "use blade" , "Guard" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
