Young newt (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eft

'young newt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eft that I've seen before include "Swimmer with feeble legs" , "Little creature" , "Juvenile twenty-three Ac; rhymes with sinister" , "Newt (archaic)" , "Kind of newt found in clefts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
