Crossword Genius

Wealthy US proposer involved (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosperous

'wealthy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'us proposer involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates anagramming the letters (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'us'+'proposer'='usproposer'
'usproposer' anagrammed gives 'PROSPEROUS'.

(Other definitions for prosperous that I've seen before include "Wealthy" , "thriving" , "Rich" , "Well-to-do" , "Affluent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
