Back end (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

tail

rear

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">back end</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "Elongated appendage of an animal" , "Flexible part that extends from an animal's rear" , "Private investigator" , "Follow - dog" , "Rump" .)

I've seen this clue in The New Yorker, The Telegraph, the USA Today, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Universal, the Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The New York Times and The Sun.
