Scrap put right in outhouse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shred

'scrap' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'put right in outhouse' is the wordplay.
'put right' becomes 'r' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'outhouse' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this before).
'r' inserted within 'shed' is 'SHRED'.

(Other definitions for shred that I've seen before include "just a touch" , "Strip of material; a very small amount" , "Small part" , "(Tear into) small piece(s)" , "Bit; cut or tear into tiny strips" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
