Tamale wrapper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

husk

'tamale wrapper' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for husk that I've seen before include "One removed by winnowing" , "Dry outer part of seed" , "Protective covering" , "Seed coverings" , "Dry outer layer" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
