Abstract example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epitome

This clue is a double definition.

'abstract' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'example' is the second definition.
(epitome is a kind of example)

(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "Abstract" , "Digest" , "Embodiment, type" , "Embodiment or perfect example" , "Typical example, prototype" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
