Member of a warrior class (7)

I believe the answer is:

samurai

(Other definitions for samurai that I've seen before include "Seven -, film directed by Kurosawa" , "Former Japanese military caste member" , "military type" , "Japanese warrior code" , "Japanese militarist" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
