Sort of milkman (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ilk

'sort' is the definition.
(ilk can mean a type or kind)

'of milkman' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ILK' is hidden in the letters of 'milkman'.

(Other definitions for ilk that I've seen before include "Type of milksop" , "Kind, class" , "Disposition" , "Kind of silks" , "Sort or type of silks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
