Upstart (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parvenu

'upstart' is the definition.
(I know that upstart can be written as parvenu)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for parvenu that I've seen before include "One coming" , "Arriviste" , "Johnny-come-lately, upstart" , "Newcomer" , "One newly risen to wealth or power" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, The Guardian, The Sun, the Evening Standard and The Times.
