Crossword Genius

Kangaroo, perhaps, or cad (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bounder

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

'cad' is the definition.
(I know that cad can be written as bounder)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bounder that I've seen before include "Dishonourable man (dated colloq.)" , "Untrustworthy type (once)" , "A cad - or a kind of jumper" , "despicable man" , "The skipper" .)
