Nipple ring (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

areola

'nipple ring?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for areola that I've seen before include "Pigmented area around a nipple" , "special type of circle" , "Ring" , "Circular coloured area, especially around nipple" , "Slightly sunken spot" .)

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