Throwback (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atavism

'throwback' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for atavism that I've seen before include "Reversion to primitive type" , "Reversion to a former type" , "Reversion to ancestral type" , "Reversion to the primitive - I am vast (anag)" , "doing things the old way" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
