Established procedure (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ritual

'established procedure' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ritual that I've seen before include "Ceremony, solemn procedure" , "Actions performed as in a religious ceremony" , "Compulsive, formulaic, activity" , "Regular habit" , "Custom, rite" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Wall Street Journal.
