___ tissue (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scar

'tissue' is the definition.
(I know that scar is a type of tissue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scar that I've seen before include "Effect of unpleasant experience" , "Permanent mark left by a wound" , "Sign of wound" , "nine [AL CAPONE] had to face" , "Mark left by healed wound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post Sunday and the USA Today.
