Title of Austrian race announced (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

herr

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

'title' is the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for herr that I've seen before include "A German gentleman" , "German man's title" , "German form like Mr." , "Dieter respectfully addressed" , "Mister in German" .)
