Matter under discussion (7)

I believe the answer is:

subject

(Other definitions for subject that I've seen before include "Expose; field of study" , "UK citizen?" , "School topic" , "One is under the authority of royalty" , "Topic being discussed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
