Influential (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seminal

'influential' is the definition.
(seminal can mean important or influential)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for seminal that I've seen before include "Rudimentary, influential" , "Highy important" , "Menials giving rise to new beginnings" , "Major" , "Generating new developments for menials" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
