Ross

I believe the answer is:

watch

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

This could be a double definition.

'swiss' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'guard?' is the second definition.
(watch is a kind of guard)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for watch that I've seen before include "Observe - timepiece" , "Timepiece - look out" , "Vigil" , "period of duty" , "Look at attentively" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
