Sword part (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hilt

'sword part' is the definition.
('hilt' is part of 'sword')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hilt that I've seen before include "Handle of a sword or dagger" , "One may back up to this" , "Handle of bladed weapon" , "Sword/dagger handle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
