Support new settler (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trestle

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

'new settler' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'settler' with letters rearranged gives 'TRESTLE'.

(Other definitions for trestle that I've seen before include "support for board" , "Framework to hold table top" , "Letters about a table support" , "Supporter" , "Supported (and supporting) board" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
