Type of fur (6)
I believe the answer is:
ermine
'type of fur' is the definition.
(I know that ermine is a type of fur)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ermine that I've seen before include "Stoat's winter fur" , "Ceremonial fur" , "Winter fur of the stoat" , "Fur-bearing mammal" , "Stoat in its winter coat" .)
