Menacing coming from the left (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sinister

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'menacing' is the first definition.
('sinister' can be a synonym of 'menacing')

'the left' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'coming from' is the link.

(Other definitions for sinister that I've seen before include "Suggestive of evil, being lefthanded" , "Threatening - ominous" , "Threatening the left in heraldry" , ", nun going round home" , "Disquieting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
