Unusual cave rite showing imagination (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

creative

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

'unusual cave rite' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'cave'+'rite'='caverite'
'caverite' is an anagram of 'CREATIVE'.

(Other definitions for creative that I've seen before include "Reactive in artistic manner" , "Innovative in reactive way" , "Full of ideas" , "Imaginative, inventive" , "Showing imagination" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
