Regular college class (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uniform

'regular' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'college class' is the wordplay.
'college' becomes 'uni' (short for university).
'class' becomes 'form' (form class is a kind of class).
'uni'+'form'='UNIFORM'

(Other definitions for uniform that I've seen before include "Distinctive clothing worn by a group" , "Military clothes" , "Regular sort of formal outfit" , "Dress of distinctive design worn by members of a group" , "Official clothing" .)

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