Fancies ring given to Ethiopian prince (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chimeras

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

'ring given to ethiopian prince' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'chime' (eg a bell chimes or rings).
'given to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'ethiopian prince' becomes 'ras' (I've seen this before).
'chime'+'ras'='CHIMERAS'

(Other definitions for chimeras that I've seen before include "wild dreams" , "Fancies" , "Monsters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
