The North Star (7)

I believe the answer is:

polaris

'the north star' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for polaris that I've seen before include "Star near the N pole of the heavens" , "Star useful for navigation" , "North Star - missile" , "one belonging in the heavens" , "star (non-movie)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The Independent.
