Buccaneer or plagiarist (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pirate

I believe this is a double definition.

'buccaneer' is the first definition.
(a buccaneer is a pirate)

'plagiarist' is the second definition.
(I know that plagiarist can be written as pirate)

(Other definitions for pirate that I've seen before include "Cornishman maybe" , "Robber on the high scas" , "Hook for one" , "Rover" , "brigand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
