Going beyond the usual limits to get extra bit on suspect (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exorbitant

'going beyond the usual limits' is the definition.

'extra bit on suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator.
'extra'+'bit'+'on'='extrabiton'
'extrabiton' with letters rearranged gives 'EXORBITANT'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for exorbitant that I've seen before include "Unreasonable" , "High cost" , "overpriced" , "Exceeding the bounds of reason" , "going beyond the limits?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
