Monk's shaven head (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tonsure

'monk's shaven head' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tonsure that I've seen before include "Shearing ?" , "Part of a monk's head left bare by shaving" , "Close-shaved hairstyle" , "Haircut for a monk" , "Removal of locks" .)

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