Lust worried an eastern ruler (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sultan

'eastern ruler' is the definition.
(title for a royal in some Muslim countries)

'lust worried an' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates an anagram (worry can mean to interfere with or disturb).
'lust' anagrammed gives 'sult'.
'sult'+'an'='SULTAN'

(Other definitions for sultan that I've seen before include "Muslim ruler" , "One governs" , "Ruler of Brunei" , "Chicken" , "Sovereign of a Muslim state" .)
