Tree's anchor (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

root

'tree's anchor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for root that I've seen before include "burrow" , "Rummage for plant base" , "Source; firmly establish" , "top of tree? Hardly!" , "Turn up with the snout." .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
