Third in degree (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tertiary

(Other definitions for tertiary that I've seen before include "Third; period of prehistory" , "Geological period" , "Of the third rank or stage" , "very long period" , "Third in order or degree" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
