Parenthesis, essentially (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arc

'parenthesis essentially' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for arc that I've seen before include "Bend" , "Car (anag.)" , "Something used to weld" , "Segment of circumference" , "circle? Not entirely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Sydney Morning Herald.
