Wound covering (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scab

'wound covering' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scab that I've seen before include "Dried crust on sore" , "work when others are out" , "Rat" , "Non-striker" , "that blocks cut" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Chronicle of Higher Education, the L.A. Times Daily, the Penny Press, The Star Tribune, The Washington Post, the LA Times, the USA Today and The Sun.
