Revered figure (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

idol

icon

'revered figure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "A graven image, or a hero" , "False god" , "As before, fake" , "One much admired" , "something to be revered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The New York Times, the Universal and the Newsday.
