Doctor is in some dictionaries (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medic

'doctor' is the definition.
(doctor is a type of medic)

'in some dictionaries' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MEDIC' is hidden within 'some dictionaries'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for medic that I've seen before include "Word for 'doctor'" , "What was Basutoland" , "He may offer treatment" , "Health worker" , "Eg, doctor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
