Forbidden by law (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illicit

'forbidden by law' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for illicit that I've seen before include "Contrary to or forbidden by law" , "not conforming to regulations" , "Contraband" , "Bootleg; clandestine" , "breaking the law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
