Lover with a ladder, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eloper

'lover with a ladder perhaps' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for eloper that I've seen before include "Runaway 27 [SWEETHEART]" , "One running off to marry" , "One running away to get married" , "One keen to marry" , "Lover escaping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
