Items in the armoury of the crossword setter? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swords

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'items in the armoury' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of the crossword setter?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SWORDS' is hidden in the letters of 'crossword setter'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swords that I've seen before include "Bladed weapons in north Dublin" , "Thrusting weapons" , "Weapons from north Co Dublin?" , "Steel weapons" , "Eg, rapiers, sabres" .)
