Groom feathers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preen

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "setdown straight?" , "Tidy/clean (feathers)" , "Dress or smooth, feathers say" , "Congratulate (oneself); attend to dress" , "Groom with elaborate care" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the LA Times and the USA Today.
