I can still stray a little bit (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scintilla

'a little bit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i can still stray' is the wordplay.
'stray' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'can'+'still'='icanstill'
'icanstill' is an anagram of 'SCINTILLA'.

(Other definitions for scintilla that I've seen before include "A tiny bit" , "suspicion" , "The smallest amount" , "littlest bit" , "little bit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
