Female has torn garment scrap (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fragment

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

'female has torn garment' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'torn' indicates an anagram.
'garment' anagrammed gives 'ragment'.
'f'+'ragment'='FRAGMENT'

(Other definitions for fragment that I've seen before include "Small piece" , "Broken-off piece" , "Scrap" , "Come to pieces" , "Bit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
