The part of Hamlet for example? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

titlerole

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'part of hamlet for example?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'part' could be 'title' (title is a kind of part) and 'title' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
