Prink (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

preen

sting

'prink' is the definition.
(I know that preen is a more specific form of the action prink)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "Groom elaborately" , "Tidy/clean (feathers)" , "Dress with elaborate care" , "Congratulate (oneself); attend to dress" , "(Of a bird) tidy and clean feathers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
