Walk ostentatiously to show support (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strut

I believe this is a double definition.

'walk ostentatiously' is the first definition.
(as in strutting one's stuff)

'support' is the second definition.
(strut is a kind of support)

'to show' is the link.

(Other definitions for strut that I've seen before include "swaggering gait" , "supporter" , "Swagger; bracing bar" , "Reinforcing rod" , "Walk arrogantly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
