Paper handkerchief (6)

I believe the answer is:

tissue

'paper handkerchief' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tissue that I've seen before include "See 17" , "Flimsy paper" , "Maybe lies" , "Basic structural element of an animal or plant" , "Paper hankie" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent and The Mirror.
