Scruff of the neck (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nape

'scruff of the neck' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nape that I've seen before include "Here's a hairline" , "Scrag" , "Girl personifying France" , "Scruff of the neck" , "Back part of the neck" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Sun and the Newsday.
