Object of adoration (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idol

'object of adoration' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Graven image (sometimes false?)" , "Person who is the object of intense admiration as by fan club" , "Graven image or greatly admired person" , "Hero, star" , "'There's a one-eyed yellow -' (Hayes)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Star Tribune, The Irish Times and The New York Times.
