Thinly scattered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparse

'thinly scattered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sparse that I've seen before include "Thinly scattered, not dense" , "Thinly dispersed" , "Thinly populated" , "Thin on the ground, scarce" , "Meagre, thin on the ground" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Guardian, the Newsday, The Irish Times, the Newsday.com, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
