Soldier for hire (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mercenary

'soldier for hire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mercenary that I've seen before include "Paid soldier" , "Soldier for hire" , "Bent on making money" , "Acting for money" , "Professional soldier serving in a foreign army" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday.com and The Times.
