Crossword Genius

British individual hip for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hip for example' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'british individual' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. in 'BBC').
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'b'+'one'='BONE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bone that I've seen before include "Carpal or tarsal, for example" , "It makes up the skeleton" , "Skeleton material" , "Skeleton component" , "Eg, rib" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
