Culprit (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offender

'culprit' is the definition.
(I know that culprit can be written as offender)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for offender that I've seen before include "Transgressor, lawbreaker" , "causing resentment?" , "miscreant" , "Committer of illegal act" , "Wrongdoer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
