Shylock (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurer

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for usurer that I've seen before include "Extortionate lender of money" , "Unscrupulous moneylender" , "One takes interest" , "One who charges excessive interest" , "Moneylender who charges exorbitant rates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal.
