Crossword Genius

A particular article white men have (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

item

'a particular' is the definition.
('item' can be a synonym of 'particular')

'article white men have' is the wordplay.
'have' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ITEM' is hidden in the letters of 'article white men'.

(Other definitions for item that I've seen before include "Single unit" , "Romantic couple" , "story" , "Boyfriend and girlfriend" , "Time (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
