Pound found inside drawers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nicker

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

'inside drawers' is the wordplay.
'inside' says to take the centre.
'drawers' becomes 'knickers' (synonyms).
The middle letters of 'knickers' are 'NICKER'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nicker that I've seen before include "One stealing" , "thief" , "Money" , "Pound (slang)" , "GBP1 (slang)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
