Proprietor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owner

'proprietor' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owner that I've seen before include "Title holder?" , "Title-holder" , "Man of property" , "One who has something" , "Keeper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, the Newsday, The Star Tribune, The Irish Independent, the Penny Press, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
