A Barbary Coast pirate (7)

I believe the answer is:

corsair

'a barbary coast pirate' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for corsair that I've seen before include "Seafarer" , "Privateer" , "Pirate from N. Africa" , "20 across" , "A swift pirate ship" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
