Ceremonial (6)

I think it could be either:

ritual

formal

'ceremonial' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ritual that I've seen before include "Regular stereotyped action" , "Regular habit" , "Code of ceremonies" , "Customary observance or practice" , "Stereotyped behaviour" .)

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