Trespasser in time more discourteous (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intruder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'trespasser' is the definition.
(I know that trespasser can be written as intruder)

'in time more discourteous' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'more discourteous' becomes 'ruder' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in'+'t'+'ruder'='INTRUDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intruder that I've seen before include "One entering uninvited" , "Gatecrasher" , "Housebreaker" , "I'd return (anag.)" , "One entering unasked" .)
