Discarded part of a pecan (8)

I believe the answer is:

nutshell

(Other definitions for nutshell that I've seen before include "Part of Brazil" , "Casing for kernel" , "In which the case is put concisely" , "Hard container for edible kernel - or for brief summary" , "'In a ..., in essence (8)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
