Not angelic, naughty from birth (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

congenital

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'from birth' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'not angelic naughty' is the wordplay.
'naughty' indicates anagramming the letters.
'not'+'angelic'='notangelic'
'notangelic' with letters rearranged gives 'CONGENITAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for congenital that I've seen is " Absolute".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
