Deliberately unreasonable (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perverse

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for perverse that I've seen before include "Deliberately difficult" , "Deliberately departing from what is reasonable" , "Deliberately contrary" , "Obstinately wrong-headed" , "Preserve in order to be stubbornly intractable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
