Image principally found in tramp's file (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dossier

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'file' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'image principally found in tramp's' is the wordplay.
'image principally' becomes 'i' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'tramp' becomes 'dosser' (dosser is a kind of tramp).
'i' inserted into 'dosser' is 'DOSSIER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dossier that I've seen before include "Report" , "File of documents" , "Papers containing detailed information about a particular person" , "Set of documents about person" , "A collection of papers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
