Traitor, defector (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

renegade

turncoat

This clue is a double definition.

'traitor' is the first definition.
(I know that renegade is a type of traitor)

'defector' is the second definition.
(I know that renegade is a type of defector)

(Other definitions for renegade that I've seen before include "Apostate" , "A deserter from a cause or faith" , "Treacherous person" , "Treacherous deserter" , "not someone true to the cause" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
