Religious order inductee (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novitiate

(Other definitions for novitiate that I've seen before include "New church member" , "New convert" , "newcomer in convent" , "Period in religious life before final vows are taken" .)

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