Red nose turning back (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endorse

'back' is the definition.
(back can mean to support or endorse)

'red nose turning' is the wordplay.
'turning' indicates an anagram.
'red'+'nose'='rednose'
'rednose' with letters rearranged gives 'ENDORSE'.

(Other definitions for endorse that I've seen before include "Give backing to" , "Support; sanction" , "Give public approval of (something)" , "Approve officially" , "Back, sanction" .)
