Righteous, high-principled (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

virtuous

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'righteous' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)

'high-principled' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for virtuous that I've seen before include "Highly moral" , "Morally upright" , "Showing high moral standards" , "Upstanding" , "Morally good" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
