Windsor Castle hosting celebrated hunter (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orca

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

'celebrated hunter' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'windsor castle hosting' is the wordplay.
'hosting' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'hosts' mean this).
'ORCA' can be found hidden inside 'windsor castle'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orca that I've seen before include "Predatory black and white toothed whale" , "ship" , "swimmer in black and white" , "Large mammal" , "grampus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
