Crossword Genius

Follow with a brush (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tail

This clue is a double definition.

'follow' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a brush' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "part of coat" , "Animal's elongated appendage" , "Trail (behind comet)" , "Hindmost part" , "bum" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
