Tail (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shadow

'tail' is the definition.
(I know that tail can be written as shadow)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shadow that I've seen before include "Trail" , "Dark area from which light is blocked" , "It's cast when light is blocked" , "Partial or complete darkness" , "Unilluminated area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
