Latin church court (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

romance

'court' is the definition.
('romance' can be a synonym of 'court')

'latin church' is the wordplay.
'latin' becomes 'roman' (I've seen this before).
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'roman'+'ce'='ROMANCE'

(Other definitions for romance that I've seen before include "Language group; love affair" , "Novel (or often its main theme)" , "Novel - love story" , "Feeling of mystery; love affair" , "Make up stories - Menorca (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
