Throat part that can be removed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonsil

(Other definitions for tonsil that I've seen before include "Throat gland" , "One often removed" , "Gland at root of tongue" , "One of a pair in the throat" , "Lymphatic tissue at the back of the mouth" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
