The ceremony is correct, we hear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rite

'the ceremony' is the definition.
(rite is a kind of ceremony)

'correct we hear' is the wordplay.
'correct' becomes 'right' (right can mean correct).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'right' sounds like 'RITE'.

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for rite that I've seen before include "Tire of ceremony" , "(Words used in) ceremonial" , "Ceremony, liturgy" , "Ceremonial act" , "Formal procedure" .)
