Free-swinging weight (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pendulum

(Other definitions for pendulum that I've seen before include "Vacillator" , "It swings from side to side - in a clock?" , "It swings to and fro as in old clock" , "Weight hung from a fixed point to regulate a clock" , "Nude lump (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
