Secretory organ (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gland

'secretory organ' is the definition.
(gland is a kind of secretory organ)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gland that I've seen before include "Organ secreting chemical substances" , "Organ that secretes" , "Organ that releases essential substances into the bloodstream" , "liver, for example" , "it could be described as secretive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Independent.
