Dross (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scum

'dross' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scum that I've seen before include "Impurities that rise to surface of liquid" , "People regarded as worthless, especially criminals" , "Floating dirt on surface" , "Waste matter floating on the surface" , "Floating rubbish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent, The Mirror, The Sunday Times and The Times.
