— Lama (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dalai

'lama' is the definition.
(Dalai Lama is an example)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dalai that I've seen before include "The . . . . . Lama is Tibet's spiritual ruler" , ".... Lama is spiritual leader of Tibet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the USA Today and The New York Times.
