Mideast leader (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emir

'mideast leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for emir that I've seen before include "Middle-Eastern ruler" , "Eastern title" , "Ruler or chieftain in Arabia" , "Ruler in the Middle East and mire" , "Local chief" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The New York Times and the LA Times.
