Stairs (5)

I believe the answer is:

steps

'stairs' is the definition.
(steps is a kind of stairs)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for steps that I've seen before include "dancing?" , "John Buchan used 39 of them" , "Stages; ladder" , "stair" , "Stairs; paces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Mirror, the New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Penny Press.
