Towards the source (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upstream

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for upstream that I've seen before include "at an earlier stage in process" , "opposing current tendencies" , "away from estuary?" , "Going back to the source" , "Against a river's natural flow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
