Crossword Genius

Man with hock (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pawn

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'man' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hock' is the second definition.
('pawn' can be a synonym of 'hock')

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pawn that I've seen before include "Part with temporarily to raise money" , "Lowest ranking chessman" , "Minor chessman" , "Person used to gain an end" , "Chesspiece" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
