Cut of beef, one almost entirely fit for a nobleman (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baronial

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fit for a nobleman' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cut of beef one almost entirely' is the wordplay.
'cut of beef' becomes 'baron' (I've seen this in another clue).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (almost the whole word is kept).
'entirely' becomes 'all' (all can mean entirely or completely).
'all' with its last letter taken away is 'al'.
'baron'+'i'+'al'='BARONIAL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baronial that I've seen before include "of the nobility" , "Impressive in appearance" , "Pertaining to a lower noble" , "Pertaining to a peer of the lowest rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
