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 LA Times, the USA Today, The Sun, The Washington Post, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Star Tribune, the L.A. Times Daily and the Penny Press.
