Head of female rabbit enthralling male (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dome

'head' is the definition.
(dome can informally mean someone's head)

'female rabbit enthralling male' is the wordplay.
'female rabbit' becomes 'doe' (a female rabbit is called a doe).
'enthralling' indicates putting letters inside.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'doe' placed around 'm' is 'DOME'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for dome that I've seen before include "Rounded roof; Greenwich tent" , "description of church roof?" , "Hemispherical roof" , "Old cathedral" , "Rounded vault of a roof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
