Crossword Genius

Marked as famous (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distinguished

I believe this is a double definition.

'marked' is the first definition.
(distinguishing is a kind of marking)

'famous' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for distinguished that I've seen before include "saw the difference" , "like a VIP" , "Differentiated; eminent" , "Treated as different" , "Noble and dignified in appearance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
