Fixing spike (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nail

'fixing spike' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nail that I've seen before include "Amall metal spike" , "Detect or catch (a criminal) (colloq.)" , "Covering on tip of the finger" , "Fasten - detect and expose" , "Growth on digit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
