Examiner of dissipated crones? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

censor

'examiner' is the definition.

'dissipated crones?' is the wordplay.
'dissipated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'crones' with letters rearranged gives 'CENSOR'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for censor that I've seen before include "He may ban films or books" , "Ban, cut" , "Official with power to prohibit distribution of material" , "Perhaps banner" , "Blue-pencil official" .)
