Crossword Genius

Principled noble (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upright

This clue is a double definition.

'principled' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'noble' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for upright that I've seen before include "Pole; principled" , "Perpendicular" , "Vertical post in rugby goal - strictly honourable" , "Sort of piano" , "Erect - honest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
