Extraordinary rendition transporting a suspect (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inordinate

'suspect' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'extraordinary rendition transporting a' is the wordplay.
'extraordinary' is an anagram indicator.
'transporting' indicates putting letters inside.
'rendition' is an anagram of 'inordinte'.
'inordinte' placed around 'a' is 'INORDINATE'.

(Other definitions for inordinate that I've seen before include "Unusually large" , "Excessive" , "disorderly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
