Better to break with infernal nonconformist (6,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enfant terrible

'nonconformist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'better to break with infernal' is the wordplay.
'to break with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'better' anagrammed with 'infernal' makes 'ENFANT TERRIBLE'.

(Other definitions for enfant terrible that I've seen before include "wild child - with 30a" , "Unconventional" , "nonconformist" , "One behaving controversially" , "scamp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
