Creative, as thinking (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lateral

(Other definitions for lateral that I've seen before include "Towards the side" , "Shoot" , "This kind of sideways thinking does not use conventional logic" , "Possibly right" , "Sort of thinking" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
