Second self (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alter ego

'second self' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for alter ego that I've seen before include "Other half" , "'One's alternative personality (5,3)'" , "Go, relate to other self" , "Hidden or second self - in Latin" , "Mister Hyde, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Independent, The Mirror and The Times.
