Grooved nails (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

screws

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for screws that I've seen before include "Fastner with spiral thread" , "Prisoner guards, colloquially" , "Pins with spiral threads" , "Fastening devices and prison guards, colloquially" , "Prison warders (sl.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
