Crossword Genius

Spoken of morality (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oral

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

'of morality' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ORAL' is hidden within 'morality'.

(Other definitions for oral that I've seen before include "Type of examination" , "By word of mouth (4)" , "Like some tradition" , "Mouth-related" , "Exam using speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
