Train up wayward moralist (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

puritan

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

'train up wayward' is the wordplay.
'wayward' indicates anagramming the letters.
'train'+'up'='trainup'
'trainup' anagrammed gives 'PURITAN'.

(Other definitions for puritan that I've seen before include "narrow-minded" , "Person of censorious moral beliefs" , "Strictly moral person" , "Train up (anag.)" , "Dour Protestant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
