Complain about this Latin hairstyle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mohican

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

'complain about this latin' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'moan' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'this latin' becomes 'hic' ('this' in Latin).
'moan' enclosing 'hic' is 'MOHICAN'.

(Other definitions for mohican that I've seen before include "American Indian - hairstyle" , "elevated style" , "Punk style" , "striking style" , "Haircut with only a band of hair down the middle of the scalp" .)

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