Support for execution? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gallows

'support for execution?' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gallows that I've seen before include "Type of humour" , "In olden times criminals were hanged on them" , "Here one may end" , "Structure for hangings" , "Black comedy or jokes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
