Crossword Genius

Piece of security (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pawn

I believe this is a double definition.

'piece' is the first definition.
(I know that pawn is a type of chess piece)

'security' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pawn that I've seen before include "Man of lowest value" , "Minor chessman" , "Chess piece; hock" , "To pop, hock" , "Chess piece -- puppet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
