Person honoured for great achievements (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laureate

'person honoured for great achievements' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for laureate that I've seen before include "Acclaimed pacifist" , "One honoured for outstanding achievement" , "Royal poet" , "Honoured poet" , "Person honoured for creative achievement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
