Dealer, merchant (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trader

This clue is a double definition.

'dealer' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'merchant' is the second definition.
(trader is a kind of merchant)

(Other definitions for trader that I've seen before include "Red tar (anag)" , "Dealer who buys and sells" , "One buys and sells" , "Person in the business of buying and selling" , "One in business" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Mirror and The Guardian.
