Mark isn't a convert (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stain

'mark' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'isn't a convert' is the wordplay.
'convert' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'converted' mean this).
'isnt'+'a'='isnta'
'isnta' anagrammed gives 'STAIN'.

(Other definitions for stain that I've seen before include "Taint" , "Discoloured patch" , "Discolouration" , "Discoloured mark" , "Colour, dye" .)
