Persian ruler (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shah

'persian ruler' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for shah that I've seen before include "Old Middle Eastern ruler" , "Sovereign ousted in 1979" , "Former Persian title" , "Persian monarch" , "Title of Iranian monarch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Penny Press and the Universal.
