Small metal spike (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nail

'small metal spike' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nail that I've seen before include "Fasten, catch (criminal)" , "Horny covering of the digits" , "Brad, say" , "Hammered individual" , "for the carpenter?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
