For protection against the elements (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umbrella

'for protection against the elements' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for umbrella that I've seen before include "protective cover" , "Portable, protective canopy" , "Handheld collapsible canopy" , "Rain protector" , "What may go up when the rain comes down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
