Monkey that shares its name with an order of friars (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capuchin

(Other definitions for capuchin that I've seen before include "Monk - monkey - china cup (anag)" , "Friar; monkey" , "Religious person" , "Religious order; woman's pointed hood and cloak resembling the habit" , "Monkey -- or hooded cloak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
