Upstart (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parvenu

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">upstart</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that upstart can be written as parvenu)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for parvenu that I've seen before include "One coming" , "Arriviste" , "Johnny-come-lately, upstart" , "Newcomer" , "One newly risen to wealth or power" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, The Guardian and The Sun.
