Beginning a letter (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

initial

This clue is a double definition.

'beginning' is the first definition.
(I know that initial is a type of beginning)

'a letter' is the second definition.
(initial is a kind of letter)

(Other definitions for initial that I've seen before include "Occurring at the start" , "E in Eileen" , "Occurring at the beginning" , "Occurring at the beginnng" , "Word's first letter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
