Tatty broken dagger (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragged

'tatty' is the definition.
('ragged' can be a synonym of 'tatty')

'broken dagger' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dagger' is an anagram of 'RAGGED'.

(Other definitions for ragged that I've seen before include "Scruffy" , "Unkempt" , "Tattered and torn" , "Dressed in torn clothes" , "Describes worn or torn clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
