Steel ring (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gird

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'steel' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ring' is the second definition.
(girding is a kind of ringing)

(Other definitions for gird that I've seen before include "Encircle - fasten with belt" , "Put a belt on" , "ring" , "Surround" , "Steel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
