Hard exterior (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crust

'hard exterior' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for crust that I've seen before include "Hard exterior" , "Hard outer coating" , "Outer surface" , "Pie covering" , "Hard knowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
