Supports couples (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

braces

I believe this is a double definition.

'supports' is the first definition.
(brace is a kind of support)

'couples' is the second definition.
('brace' can be a synonym of 'couple')

(Other definitions for braces that I've seen before include "Trouser support" , "Support for trousers" , "Supports for teeth or trousers" , "Over-the-shoulders supporters" , "Appliances to correct dental irregularities" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
