Crossword Genius

Parade to show support (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strut

This clue is a double definition.

'parade' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'support' is the second definition.
(strut is a kind of support)

'to show' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for strut that I've seen before include "Walk proudly like metal support" , "Walk arrogantly" , "parade" , "Walk with proud and conceited gait" , "Supportive member" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
