Round chapel Sir dashed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spherical

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

'chapel sir dashed' is the wordplay.
'dashed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'chapel'+'sir'='chapelsir'
'chapelsir' with letters rearranged gives 'SPHERICAL'.

(Other definitions for spherical that I've seen before include "Globe-shaped" , "Like cannonballs" , "Ball shaped" , "Ball-shaped" , "Rotund" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
