Scour (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrub

'scour' is the definition.
(I know that scour can be written as scrub)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scrub that I've seen before include "insignificant type" , "Area of dense stunted vegetation" , "Stunted growth" , "Drop" , "poor growth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Sun, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Independent.
