Kneecap (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patella

'kneecap' is the definition.
(I know that kneecap can be written as patella)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for patella that I've seen before include "Knee bone" , "Joint cover" , "positioned on each knee" , "bit of body usually under trousers!" , "A pallet (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Independent, the Universal, The Guardian, the Newsday, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Wall Street Journal.
