One of five in a Shakespeare play (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

act

'one of five in a shakespeare play' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for act that I've seen before include "Function" , "Aussie parliamentarians exert influence here?" , "performing group" , "Feat" , "Subdivision of a play" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
