Circumference (5)

I believe the answer is:

girth

'circumference' is the definition.
(I know that girth is a type of circumference)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for girth that I've seen before include "Measure all round" , "Size of waist perhaps" , "Circumferential measure" , "Personal circumference" , "Distance around a person's body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Mirror, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The New York Times, the Newsday, The Independent, The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
