Parvenu (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upstart

'parvenu' is the definition.
(I know that parvenu can be written as upstart)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for upstart that I've seen before include "Person who has suddenly risen in wealth or importance" , "Arrogant newcomer" , "One who suddenly rises from nowhere to importance" , "Person who behaves arrogantly in the new position" , "Person suddenly risen in world, and arrogant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and the King Feature Syndicate.
