Prevailing wisdom in anti-war circles (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dominant

'prevailing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wisdom in anti-war circles' is the wordplay.
'circles' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DOMINANT' can be found hidden inside 'wisdom in anti war'.

(Other definitions for dominant that I've seen before include "In a controlling position" , "Leading" , "First" , "Foremost, most important" , "Foremost, main" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
