Start reading the morning paper (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ream

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'start reading the morning' is the wordplay.
'start reading' becomes 're' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the morning' becomes 'am'.
're'+'am'='REAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ream that I've seen before include "Widen (hole); quantity of paper" , "20 quires of paper" , "Lots of paper" , "516 sheets of paper" , "Many sheets - enlarge hole" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
