Knight's title (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sir

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">knight's title</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(knights are addressed as 'sir')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sir that I've seen before include "Title of Kt or Bart" , "Honourable title" , "Formal term of address" , "Poet and novelist" , "Formal and deferential address to a man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Independent, The Telegraph, The New York Times, The Daily Mail, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, The Mirror, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, the Universal, the Penny Press, the LA Times, The Irish Times, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate, The Washington Post and the USA Today.
