Young louse (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nit

'young louse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nit that I've seen before include "Egg; fool" , "Foolish person" , "Egg of parasitic insect" , "Cause of much head-scratching" , "Stupid person; egg" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
