Tee preceder (3)

I believe the answer is:

ess

'tee preceder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ess that I've seen before include "Curvaceous letter" , "Nineteenth letter" , "Alphabet letter" , "Letter from Mid-West" , "top secret" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
