Townsperson (7)
I believe the answer is:
burgher
'townsperson' is the definition.
(burgher can mean a citizen of a town)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for burgher that I've seen before include "Citizen of a town or city" , "Freeman of the city" , "Mediaeval freeman, townsman" , "Medieval city trader" , "Man about town" .)
