Disciple of Haile Selassie, informally (5)

I believe the answer is:

rasta

(Other definitions for rasta that I've seen before include "Sectarian of Jamaican origin (colloq.)" , "Jamaican cult follower (informally)" , "worshipper of Haile Selassie" , "Jamaican cultist" , "Jamaican believer" .)

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