Infidelity upsets true lady (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adultery

'infidelity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'upsets true lady' is the wordplay.
'upsets' is an anagram indicator.
'true'+'lady'='truelady'
'truelady' with letters rearranged gives 'ADULTERY'.

(Other definitions for adultery that I've seen before include "The act of marital infidelity" , "Extramarital sex" , "Moral lapse" , "Unfaithfulness to one's spouse" , "Extramarital bedroom antics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
