Crossword Genius

Opening for a student (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pupil

I believe this is a double definition.

'opening' is the first definition.
(pupil is a kind of opening)

'a student' is the second definition.
('pupil' can be a synonym of 'student')

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for pupil that I've seen before include "Learner at educational institution" , "I learn" , "One being taught" , "Schoolchild; part of eye" , "One studying" .)
