Lowly chess piece (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pawn

'lowly chess piece' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pawn that I've seen before include "instrument" , "Give as security" , "Deposit as pledge" , "Lend uncle" , "Chess piece -- puppet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The New York Times.
