Wasteful (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prodigal

'wasteful' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for prodigal that I've seen before include "Grip load (anag.)" , "This son got the fatted calf" , "Recklessly wasteful or extravagant" , "Wasting money" , "overspending" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate and the Evening Standard.
