Superfluous (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otiose

'superfluous' is the definition.
(I know that superfluous can be written as otiose)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for otiose that I've seen before include "Indolent, ineffectual" , "Laze, idle" , "Without practical purpose" , "Idle, empty" , "Slothful" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Independent, The Guardian and The Sun.
