Those back to front beliefs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethos

'beliefs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for ethos that I've seen before include "Those (anag.)" , "Characteristic standards of those" , "Characteristic attitude" , "Group's distinctive character" , "General feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
