Copy complicated procedure (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reproduce

'copy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'complicated procedure' is the wordplay.
'complicated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'procedure' is an anagram of 'REPRODUCE'.

(Other definitions for reproduce that I've seen before include "Make a child" , "Create offspring" , "Ape" , "Duplicate" , "Make a copy of (something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
