Novelist Waugh (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'novelist waugh' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for alec that I've seen before include "Sir - Douglas-Home, former PM" , "Smart boy?" , "Guinness (a smart lad?)" , "Boy's name (a smart one?)" , "A smart . . . . is a know-all in lace" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
