Social stratum (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caste

'social stratum' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for caste that I've seen before include "Division of Hindu society" , "Social station" , "Hindu determinant of status" , "Hereditary social class in Hindu society" , "Large, long-necked, wading bird" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the Newsday and The New York Times.
