Small part to represent others or a whole (6)

I believe the answer is:

sample

(Other definitions for sample that I've seen before include "Small part representative of the whole" , "Small part intended to represent the whole" , "Specimen; sound clip" , "Taste; specimen" , "Take" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
