Sword handle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hilt

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hilt that I've seen before include "Handle of a sword or dagger" , "One may back up to this" , "Handle of bladed weapon" , "Sword/dagger handle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent, the LA Times and the USA Today.
