Crossword Genius

Sheepish individual seen around six (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ovine

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

'individual seen around six' is the wordplay.
'individual' becomes 'one' (an individual is one person).
'seen around' indicates putting letters inside.
'six' becomes 'vi' (roman numeral).
'one' placed around 'vi' is 'OVINE'.

(Other definitions for ovine that I've seen before include "1/6 = 2/3 of 28 [SHEEPISH" , "Resembling a sheep" , "like a mug" , "Sheep-like" , "Like the Cheviots" .)
