Crossword Genius

A fellow blond's business (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

affair

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

'a fellow blond's' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'blond' becomes 'fair' (similar in meaning).
'a'+'f'+'fair'='AFFAIR'

(Other definitions for affair that I've seen before include "Secret liaison" , "A fling (or something more serious?)" , "Extramarital activity" , "Involvement" , "Romantic relationship, perhaps illicit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
