Crossword Genius

Time off for some member (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thigh

'some member' is the definition.
(thigh is a kind of member)

'time off' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't'.
'off' becomes 'high' (I've seen this before).
't'+'high'='THIGH'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thigh that I've seen before include "Ham" , "Joint of meat" , "part of body" , "Upper part of the leg" , "This bone is the femur" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
