Ross

I believe the answer is:

preen

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">groom feathers</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for preen that I've seen before include "setdown straight?" , "Tidy/clean (feathers)" , "Dress or smooth, feathers say" , "Congratulate (oneself); attend to dress" , "Groom with elaborate care" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the USA Today and the LA Times.
