Assumption of a false identity (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imposture

'assumption of a false identity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for imposture that I've seen before include "Pretending to be another person" , "The assuming of a false identity" , "Trick" , "deception" , "Fraud" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
