Sheath for sword (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scabbard

'sheath for sword' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scabbard that I've seen before include "Weapon held here" , "place of weapon" , "that carries a sword" , "It keeps food off clothes" , "protection on the side" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.
