Sword or dagger handle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hilt

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

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
