Small muscles, those found on end of nose (5)

I believe the answer is:

specs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'those found on end of nose' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'small muscles' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'muscles' becomes 'pecs' (short for pectoral muscles).
's'+'pecs'='SPECS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for specs that I've seen before include "provider of focus" , "you can see right through them" , "Glasses (abbrev.)" , "Instructions" , "Glasses (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
