Bossy young girl running up and down (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madam

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bossy young girl' is the first definition.

'running up and down' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for madam that I've seen before include "formidable woman" , "How one may address a woman" , "Courteous form of address to a woman" , "Bossy girl" , "Palindrome used in speaking politely to a woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
