Stage of development (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phase

'stage of development' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for phase that I've seen before include "Distinct period in development" , "Aspect of moon" , "Passing stage" , "Distinct stage" , "Carry out in stages" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror and The Wall Street Journal.
