Paper that's made up of lies? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tissue

I believe this is a double definition.

'paper' is the first definition.
(I know that tissue is a type of paper)

'that's made up of lies?' is the second definition.
(as in a tissue of lies)

(Other definitions for tissue that I've seen before include "Skin or thin paper" , "Suddenly leave in protest" , "Basic structural element of an animal or plant" , "load of lies?" , "Disposable handkerchief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
