Errors in printing? Tear a royal arrangement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

errata

'errors in printing?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tear a royal arrangement' is the wordplay.
'royal' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'arrangement' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tear'+'a'+'r'='tearar'
'tearar' with letters rearranged gives 'ERRATA'.

(Other definitions for errata that I've seen before include "List of text corrections to be made in a publication" , "Feeling nausea" , "mistakes in print" , "Listed errors" , "List of misprints" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
