Mortice tongue (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenon

(Other definitions for tenon that I've seen before include "Projection used in a mortise joint" , "Wood fitting into a mortise" , "Part of a wooden joint" , "Mortise insert" , "piece of carpentry?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
