Fancy cups set out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suspect

'fancy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cups set out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'cups'+'set'='cupsset'
'cupsset' anagrammed gives 'SUSPECT'.

(Other definitions for suspect that I've seen before include "Imagine to be true" , "Dodgy" , "Believe without being certain" , "Believe to be guilty, but without proof" , "Possible perpetrator of a crime" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
