Trunk kept by tenant, or sold (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torso

'trunk' is the definition.
(both can mean a person's chest)

'kept by tenant or sold' is the wordplay.
'kept by' indicates a hidden word.
'TORSO' can be found hidden inside 'tenant or sold'.

(Other definitions for torso that I've seen before include "Main part of human body" , "Roots (anag)" , "Trunk; headless, limbless body" , "Poorly-dressed child" , "Roost on trunk?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
