Partial shadow (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

penumbra

(Other definitions for penumbra that I've seen before include "Outer shadow round object" , "Outer region of shadow" , "Area of half shade" , "Imperfect shadow" , "Ring around sunspot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
