Queries wrong title (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

esquire

'title' is the definition.
(title for a gentleman)

'queries wrong' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates an anagram.
'queries' anagrammed gives 'ESQUIRE'.

(Other definitions for esquire that I've seen before include "Title of courtesy for a man" , "Male courtesy title" , "Queries (anag.)" , "Courtesy title for a gentleman" , "Originally shield-bearer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
