Crossword Genius

The round part of a doorbell (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orb

'the round' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'part of a doorbell' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ORB' is hidden within 'doorbell'.

(Other definitions for orb that I've seen before include "A sphere or globe" , "A poetic eye, bro" , "Heavenly body" , "Ornamental sphere" , "Item of royal regalia" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
