Renewed fame isn't obvious (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manifest

'obvious' is the definition.
('manifest' can be similar in meaning to 'obvious')

'renewed fame isn't' is the wordplay.
'renewed' indicates an anagram.
'fame'+'isnt'='fameisnt'
'fameisnt' anagrammed gives 'MANIFEST'.

(Other definitions for manifest that I've seen before include "List of ship's cargo or passengers" , "Plain - cargo list" , "Document listing a ship's contents for customs purposes" , "Clear, obvious" , "Express" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
