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 Evening Standard, The Times, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, the Penny Press, the Newsday, the Sydney Morning Herald and The New York Times.
