Recurrent theme (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trope

'recurrent theme' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for trope that I've seen before include "ironical expression" , "literary effect" , "Metaphorical use of a word or expression" , "metaphor, perhaps" , "Image, figure of speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Sun.
