Passed rumpled suit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spades

'suit' is the definition.
(playing card suit)

'passed rumpled' is the wordplay.
'rumpled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'passed' with letters rearranged gives 'SPADES'.

(Other definitions for spades that I've seen before include "One of two black suits" , "Garden tools and card suit" , "Suit in pack of cards" , "Shovels or playing cards" , "Digging tools and card suit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
