Sword sheath (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scabbard

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scabbard that I've seen before include "Weapon held here" , "Holder for a bladed weapon" , "It keeps food off clothes" , "One holding a sword" , "protection on the side" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Times.
