Whinge about this Latin style (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mohican

'style' is the definition.
(I have seen 'elevated style' mean 'mohican' so perhaps 'style' could also mean 'mohican')

'whinge about this latin' is the wordplay.
'whinge' becomes 'moan' (I've seen this before).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'this latin' becomes 'hic' ('this' in Latin).
'moan' going around 'hic' is 'MOHICAN'.

(Other definitions for mohican that I've seen before include "American Indian and a haircut" , "The last one was celebrated in novel" , "type of cut" , "Punk style" , "American Indian - hairstyle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
