Second truss? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

support

This clue is a double definition.

'second' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'truss?' is the second definition.
(trussing is a kind of supporting)

(Other definitions for support that I've seen before include "Keep from falling, as crutch does (7)" , "Give assistance to" , "Bolster or back up" , "Stay" , "Provide financial backing or bolster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
