Fencing weapon (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foil

'fencing weapon' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for foil that I've seen before include "Parry" , "Frustrate with fencing sword" , "shiny paper" , "Thwart - contrasting thing - sword" , "Food kept fresh in this" .)

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