Lieutenant of Othello in the William Shakespeare play of that name (6)

I believe the answer is:

cassio

(Other definitions for cassio that I've seen before include "Friend of Othello (Shak.)" , "One accused of being Desdemona's lover (Othello)" , "Lieutenant in Cyprus" , "Lieutenant dismissed by Othello" , "Michael in play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
