Doctor man's cut in private room (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanctum

'private room' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'doctor man's cut' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mans'+'cut'='manscut'
'manscut' anagrammed gives 'SANCTUM'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sanctum that I've seen before include "Private/sacred place" , "somewhere private" , "Place of total privacy" , "SECOND PART OF 3" , "Room safe from disturbance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
