Preserved a dead body (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embalmed

'preserved a dead body' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for embalmed that I've seen before include "Of a corpse, preserved from decay" , "Preserved a dead body" , "Blamed me, being preserved from decay" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
