Not tough (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tender

'not tough' is the definition.
('tender' is the opposite to 'tough')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include "Not tough - make a bid" , "Hurting" , "Put in a bid" , "Caretaker" , "Loving, not tough" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and the Penny Press.
