Crossword Genius

Pull by the auricle? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lug

This clue is a double definition.

'pull' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'the auricle?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lug that I've seen before include "A slangy ear" , "Carry with difficulty" , "Drag, haul" , "Drag or carry with effort" , "Projecting piece; haul" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
