Pencil remnant (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nub

'pencil remnant' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nub that I've seen before include "Metal piece" , "Central point of bun" , "Gist - kernel" , "Gist (of a matter)" , "Core, pith or gist" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
