Witness to a child’s baptism who promises to help in the upbringing (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

godparent

(Other definitions for godparent that I've seen before include "Pet dragon (anag)" , "as one responsible for charge" , "Religious guardian" , "Baptism sponsor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
