Ceremonial (6)

I think it could be either:

ritual

formal

'ceremonial' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for formal that I've seen before include "Punctilious" , "Done in accordance with etiquette" , "Stately or official" , "Befitting a person in authority" , "Precise - ceremonial" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Sunday, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The Times and The Sun.
