Nurtures (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rears

'nurtures' is the definition.
('rear' can be a synonym of 'nurture')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rears that I've seen before include "bucks" , "Back ends" , "Fosters, brings up" , "Sets up" , "Raises" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
