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