Crossword Genius

National history, perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subject

I believe this is a double definition.

'national' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'history perhaps' is the second definition.
(history is a kind of subject)

(Other definitions for subject that I've seen before include "School topic" , "Musical theme" , "Expose; field of study" , "Theme (of a fugue)" , "In school possibly English" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
