Showing tiredness, perhaps, leaving yard for shade (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awning

'shade' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'showing tiredness perhaps leaving yard' is the wordplay.
'showing tiredness perhaps' becomes 'yawning'.
'leaving' is a deletion indicator.
'yard' becomes 'y'.
'yawning' with 'y' taken out is 'AWNING'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for awning that I've seen before include "Roof-like canvas shelter over a doorway" , "Canvas shade" , "Sunshade" , "Covering above a window or door" , "Canvas cover over a shop entrance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
