Standard of perfection (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'standard of perfection' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ideal that I've seen before include "unlikely to be bettered?" , "Model of excellence (5)." , "Paradigm" , "fine" , "Nonpareil" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Newsday.
