I'd return in order to be a trespasser (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intruder

'a trespasser' is the definition.
(I know that trespasser can be written as intruder)

'i'd return in order' is the wordplay.
'in order' indicates an anagram (the letters in a new order).
'id'+'return'='idreturn'
'idreturn' with letters rearranged gives 'INTRUDER'.

'to be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intruder that I've seen before include "Unwanted visitor" , "Unwelcome guest" , "Trespasser" , "One entering uninvited" , "Uninvited person like burglar" .)
