Nefarious organisation led by James Bond's archenemy (7)

I believe the answer is:

spectre

(Other definitions for spectre that I've seen before include "'Phantom, shade (7)'" , "Enemy organisation for James Bond; ghost" , "spirit" , "Ghost, phantom, apparition" , "something seen as a threat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
