Small chess piece (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pawn

'small chess piece' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pawn that I've seen before include "Chess piece -- puppet" , "Hock; cat's-paw" , "Hostage; chessman" , "Person one used" , "Chessman often sacrificed" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
