Region of shadow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

umbra

'region of shadow' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for umbra that I've seen before include "dark place" , "Shadow's inner region" , "Area of total shadow" , "shady region" , "Rumba (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
