Inherited reshaped binder (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inbred

'inherited' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'reshaped binder' is the wordplay.
'reshaped' indicates anagramming the letters.
'binder' anagrammed gives 'INBRED'.

(Other definitions for inbred that I've seen before include "Born of closely related people" , "Deep-seated" , "from a restricted gene pool?" , "From too-closely-related family" , "Inborn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
