I had a problem parsing this one but nothing else fits and it fits in the grid. Hopefully someone else can enlighten us

Chambers has xerosis/xerotes as 'abnormal dryness'
'xerotes with round = O + top of Toe, removed = xeres

Xerotes is defined as 'dryness'. Removing (ignoring) O (round) and T (top of toe)
