Less mature guy Nero corrupted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

younger

'less mature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'guy nero corrupted' is the wordplay.
'corrupted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'guy'+'nero'='guynero'
'guynero' is an anagram of 'YOUNGER'.

(Other definitions for younger that I've seen before include "Less mature" , "More youthful" , "More juvenile" , "Less grey" , "More immature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
