A country lover (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patriot

'a country lover' is the definition.
(someone who loves their country)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for patriot that I've seen before include "One defends his country" , "New England sportsman" , "No traitor" , "A trip to (anag.)" , "One who loves his or her country" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
