Originator (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

founder

creator

'originator' is the definition.
(I know that founder is a type of originator)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for founder that I've seen before include "collapse" , "Sink, come to grief" , "Institution's former" , "One who establishes an institution" , "Creator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Newsday.com, The Sun and The Times.
