Just over half of trivial article forming badge of office (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insignia

'badge of office' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for insignia that I've seen before include "Badge of membership" , "Badges of office" , "military mark" , "Badge worn to show official position" , "Emblems of rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
