Automaton (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

robot

golem

'automaton' is the definition.
(I know that automaton can be written as golem)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for golem that I've seen before include "supernaturally animated" , "Animated figure" , "robot" , "(In Jewish legend) a clay figure brought to life" , "creature of Jewish legend?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Star Tribune, The Mirror, The Times, The Independent, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, The Irish Times and the Evening Standard.
