Ear covering (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

husk

'ear covering' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for husk that I've seen before include "Dry thin covering" , "Dry seed covering" , "Dry fruit covering" , "Seed case" , "Dry outer layer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Newsday, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
