Scholarly world (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

academe

'scholarly world' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for academe that I've seen before include "universities" , "The teaching environment" , "University environment" , "World of scholarship" , "place of learning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Sun and The Telegraph.
