Truss say in motor yacht (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tory

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'truss' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'in motor yacht' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TORY' can be found hidden inside 'motor yacht'.

'say' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tory that I've seen before include "English Conservative politician or Donegal island" , "A British Conservative" , "blue" , "Opponent of 8 Down and 14 Across, partner of 14 Down?" , "type on right? Yes" .)
