Odd saint given scope (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strange

'odd' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'saint given scope' is the wordplay.
'saint' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'scope' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'st'+'range'='STRANGE'

(Other definitions for strange that I've seen before include "Odd kind of garnets" , "Unknown or peculiar" , "Odd - rum" , "Odd, not familiar" , "Unusual, surprising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
