Higher in rank (6)

I believe the answer is:

senior

'higher in rank' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for senior that I've seen before include "Being old" , "Older in years or higher in rank" , "Superior - elder" , "Higher in rank or authority" , "Elder person - higher in rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Telegraph.
