Distinctive spirit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethos

'distinctive spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ethos that I've seen before include "Cultural spirit" , "Characteristic attitudes" , "Characteristic spirit (of, eg, a culture)" , "Moral significance" , "General feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
