Crossword Genius

Area pamphlet (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tract

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'area' is the first definition.
(tract is a kind of area)

'pamphlet' is the second definition.
('tract' can be a synonym of 'pamphlet')

(Other definitions for tract that I've seen before include "Religious treatise" , "Publication" , "Stretch of land or religious pamphlet" , "Pamphlet, large expanse of land" , "Large area; treatise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Mirror.
