Handheld shelter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umbrella

(Other definitions for umbrella that I've seen before include "It protects against the rain" , "Collapsible ribbed canopy against rain" , "For protection against the elements" , "The old song urges to let a smile be yours" , "Rain shield" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
