Rearrange six clues on exceptions (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exclusions

'exceptions' is the definition.
('exclusion' can be a synonym of 'exception')

'rearrange six clues on' is the wordplay.
'rearrange' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'six'+'clues'+'on'='sixclueson'
'sixclueson' with letters rearranged gives 'EXCLUSIONS'.

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
