Impudence or shameless audacity (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chutzpah

This clue is a double definition.

'impudence' is the first definition.
(I know that chutzpah is a type of impudence)

'shameless audacity' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for chutzpah that I've seen before include "Self-assurance bordering on audacity" , "Shameless audacity or brass neck, from Yiddish" , "Impertinence" , "Shameless impudence (from Yiddish)" , "Extreme audacity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
