Man from Lima in class (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

castle

'man' is the definition.
(castle is a kind of man)

'lima in class' is the wordplay.
'lima' becomes 'L' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'class' becomes 'caste' (caste is a kind of class).
'l' placed into 'caste' is 'CASTLE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for castle that I've seen before include "a piece in the corner" , "Big building" , "Move king to safety - stronghold" , "Fortified mansion" , "Citadel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sun.
