Crossword Genius

The glory of the Empire, now no more (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

renown

'the glory' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of the empire now no more' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'RENOWN' is hidden in the letters of 'empire now no more'.

(Other definitions for renown that I've seen before include "Fame, respect" , "Good reputation" , "High repute" , "Celebrity, fame" , "High reputation, fame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Irish News.
