Renaissance-era cup (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

codpiece

(Other definitions for codpiece that I've seen before include "Male dress item of former times" , "men put on centuries ago" , "What kept privates in place" , "Medieval male accoutrement for the nether regions" , "for promotion of virility?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
