Prodigal (11)

I believe the answer is:

spendthrift

'prodigal' is the definition.
(I know that spendthrift is a type of prodigal)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spendthrift that I've seen before include "Extravagantly spending person" , "Irresponsible user of money" , "Prodigal" , "Wastrel" , "Squanderer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
