Exorbitant in money lending rates (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurious

(Other definitions for usurious that I've seen before include "Taking a healthy interest" , "attracting huge interest" , "Charging excessive interest as in Bible" , "Given to charging excessive interest, like Biblical businessman" , "Relating to money-lending at very high rates" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
