Crossword Genius

Shrink from any last corruption (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

analyst

'shrink' is the definition.
(shrink can informally mean a psychoanalyst)

'any last corruption' is the wordplay.
'corruption' indicates anagramming the letters.
'any'+'last'='anylast'
'anylast' with letters rearranged gives 'ANALYST'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for analyst that I've seen before include "Dealer with systems - shrink!" , "One identifying (chemical) composition" , "Examiner - psychiatrist" , "Chemical researcher" , "Freud, perhaps" .)

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