Eros Ltd corrupted senior citizen (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oldster

'senior citizen' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eros ltd corrupted' is the wordplay.
'corrupted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'eros'+'ltd'='erosltd'
'erosltd' anagrammed gives 'OLDSTER'.

(Other definitions for oldster that I've seen before include "Person getting on" , "Aged person" , "Senior citizen (colloquial)" , "Greybeard" , "Mature person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
