Loafer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idler

'loafer' is the definition.
(I know that loafer can be written as idler)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for idler that I've seen before include "Lazybones; gear wheel" , "Johnson's work" , "Sluggard" , "One who doesn't want to work" , "One working to control tension" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
