Javelin (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

lance

spear

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">javelin</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(both can mean a long blade)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for lance that I've seen before include "Clean (anag) -- weapon" , "Long weapon; prick" , "Surgical knife" , "One like pike" , "Incise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Irish Independent, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard and The Wall Street Journal.
