Contrary to reason or propriety (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perverse

(Other definitions for perverse that I've seen before include "Obstinately wrong-headed" , "Preserve in order to be contrary or intractable" , "Deviant" , "Deliberately difficult" , "wilfully obscure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
