US inventor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edison

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for edison that I've seen before include "Thomas --, US?inventor" , "Inventor's" , "US inventor of phonograph, electric light etc." , "Onside with great American inventor" , "Early American inventor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times, The Mirror and The Telegraph.
