Cephalopod (7)

I believe the answer is:

octopus

'cephalopod' is the definition.
(I know that octopus is a type of octopod)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for octopus that I've seen before include "Far-reaching organisation" , "Cephalopod mollusc" , "person with widespread influence" , "Tentacled sea creature" , "Sea creature with tentacles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Guardian.
