A boast (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vaunt

'a boast' is the definition.
(I know that boast can be written as vaunt)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for vaunt that I've seen before include "Show off" , "Talk boastfully of" , "Boast about (something), often excessively" , "crow" , "brag" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
