Semicircular recess (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apse

'semicircular recess' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for apse that I've seen before include "room for an altar" , "Recess in church wall" , "Domed section of a church" , "space for altar" , "Semicircular end of a church, behind the altar" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
