Bootlicker (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sycophant

'bootlicker' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sycophant that I've seen before include "old informer" , "Austen's Mr Collins?" , "I'm obsequious" , "obsequious one" , "Servile flatterer" .)

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