Dead skin (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cuticle

'dead skin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cuticle that I've seen before include "Dead skin at nail's base" , "Dead skin on hand" , "finger has one" , "layer of protection" , "Skin at foot of nail" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
