Kept woman (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

courtesan

'kept woman' is the definition.
(courtesan is a kind of kept woman)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for courtesan that I've seen before include "odalisque" , "High-class prostitute" , "Fanny Hill, perhaps" , "Prostitute - mistress of high-ranking man" , "Kept woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
