Figure Jung's half-cut when going into Electra complex (9)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
rectangle
'figure' is the definition.
(rectangle is a kind of figure)
'jung's half-cut when going into electra complex' is the wordplay.
'half cut' means to take half the letters.
'when going into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'complex' indicates anagramming the letters.
'jung' halved is 'ng'.
'electra' anagrammed gives 'rectale'.
'ng' going within 'rectale' is 'RECTANGLE'.
(Other definitions for rectangle that I've seen before include "regular sort of figure" , "Four sides involved in this" , "Figure on plane" , "Geometric figure with four right angles, not square" , "Oblong" .)
