Contraceptive (4)

I believe the answer is:

pill

'contraceptive' is the definition.
(I know that pill is a type of contraceptive)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pill that I've seen before include "Medicinal pellet" , "Pellet of medicine" , "Dreadful person" , "Medicinal tablet" , "Medical tablet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
