Original and influential (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seminal

'original and influential' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for seminal that I've seen before include "Highy important" , "Strongly influencing future developments" , "Generating new developments for menials" , "Groundbreaking" , "Very important, original" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
