Ross

I believe the answer is:

sport

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'maybe squash' is the first definition.
'sport' can be an answer for 'squash' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'maybe' bit.

'plant variant?' is the second definition.
'sport' can be an answer for 'variant?' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'plant' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sport that I've seen before include "Abnormal" , "Wear, display (an item)" , "Eg, football; fun" , "Fun in ports" , "Games" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
