Honorary title for a professor retired from active service (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emeritus

(Other definitions for emeritus that I've seen before include "Professor retired from regular work" , "Retired, but retaining the title of one's office" , "Designation of retired person" , "Keeping hon. title in retirement" , "Keeping rank, retired" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
