Roll with end of loaf (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheel

'roll' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'with end of loaf' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'end of loaf' becomes 'heel' (the crusty end of a loaf of bread).
'w'+'heel'='WHEEL'

(Other definitions for wheel that I've seen before include "Turn in a wide 14 across" , "Roll" , "Circular structure on axle" , "Rotating circular frame" , "Turn round quickly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
