Puzzle remnant (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stump

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'puzzle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'remnant' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stump that I've seen before include "clear out of money" , "Remains of felled tree" , "Small remaining part; cricket item" , "Nonplus" , "defeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
