Toothed rack (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ratchet

'toothed rack' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ratchet that I've seen before include "Toothed rack" , "this will stop revolutionary backsliding" , "Bar that fits into the notches of a toothed wheel" , "One-way mechanism" , "Mechanism with a toothed bar or wheel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
