"It's a ___ formality" (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mere

(Other definitions for mere that I've seen before include "Lake (and nothing else?)" , "Pierre's mother identified" , "Simply, nothing more than" , "Nothing more than what is specified (4)" , "Nothing more than is specified - or a poetic lake" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
