Risk includes rector touching Norman's neighbour (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breton

'norman's neighbour' is the definition.
(someone from Brittany near Normandy)

'risk includes rector touching' is the wordplay.
'risk' becomes 'bet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'rector' becomes 'r'.
'touching' becomes 'on'.
'bet' going around 'r' is 'bret'.
'bret'+'on'='BRETON'

(Other definitions for breton that I've seen before include "French Celtic language" , "A native of Brittany, France" , "Cooked with cheese and/or breadcrumbs on top" , "Surrealist" , "One from Brest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
