Region in which to practise matricide? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

domain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'region' is the definition.
(I know that domain is a type of region)

'to practise matricide?' is the wordplay.
'to practise' becomes 'do' (synonyms).
'matricide?' becomes 'main' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'do'+'main'='DOMAIN'

'in which' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for domain that I've seen before include "Territory over which rule or control is exercised" , "Scope of knowledge - owned land" , "estate" , "Area under someone's control, field of activity" , "Realm or range of influence" .)
