Crossword Genius

Nurse's backside (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rear

This clue is a double definition.

'nurse's' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'backside' is the second definition.
(I know that backside can be written as rear)

(Other definitions for rear that I've seen before include "Back; bring up (young)" , "Hind part" , "Rump" , "what can be brought up, finally" , "Bring up or stand up on hind legs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
