Pen name or pseudonym (3,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nom de plume

I believe this is a double definition.

'pen name' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'pseudonym' is the second definition.
(nom de plume is a kind of pseudonym)

(Other definitions for nom de plume that I've seen before include "Assumed name" , "Pen-name" , "False name" , "Author's pseudonym" , "Pen name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
