One seeking retribution (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avenger

'one seeking retribution' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for avenger that I've seen before include "One seeking retribution" , "Someone seeking to settle a score" , "One carries out retribution" , "One settles score" , "person wanting justice through violence?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
