Sheltered side (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

'sheltered side' is the definition.
(as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "Towards the side away from the wind (naut)" , "Revolutionary general" , "Confederate general" , "Protection" , "actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
