Sacred word (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mantra

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">sacred word</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for mantra that I've seen before include "oft repeated stock phrase?" , "Word aiding meditation (Buddhism)" , "Aid to concentration (Buddhism,Hinduism)" , "Oft-repeated slogan or phrase" , "Incantation used as aid to meditation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Canadiana, The Independent and The Mirror.
