Crossword Genius

Bookworm regarding a German article (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reader

'bookworm' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'regarding a german article' is the wordplay.
'regarding' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'german article' becomes 'der' (definite article in German).
're'+'a'+'der'='READER'

(Other definitions for reader that I've seen before include "Person perusing a book or newspaper" , "Peruser of texts" , "Lecturer; book user" , "University lecturer, the highest rank below a professor" , "He's immersed in a book or newspaper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
