Stuff concerning father (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

padre

'father' is the definition.
(I know that father can be written as Padre)

'stuff concerning' is the wordplay.
'stuff' becomes 'pad' (padding is a kind of stuffing).
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'pad'+'re'='PADRE'

(Other definitions for padre that I've seen before include "Man of god - drape (anag)" , "Father" , "Army chaplain" , "clerical worker" , "Priest, chaplain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
