Broom (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

brush

besom

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">broom</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(besom is a kind of broom)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for besom that I've seen before include "Twiggy broom" , "Lazy woman" , "Rustic broom" , "cleaner?" , "sweeps with it?" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Telegraph, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
