Scruffs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

napes

'scruffs' is the definition.
('nape' can be a synonym of 'scruff')

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for napes that I've seen is " Scruffs of the neck".)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
