Honorific from Sanskrit (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sri

'honorific from sanskrit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sri that I've seen before include "... Lanka, formerly Ceylon" , "Asian gentleman" , "Country formerly Ceylon" , "Indian address" , "Indian title of respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
