Yorkshire person's specific justification for being disloyal? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treason

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being disloyal?' is the definition.

'yorkshire person's specific justification' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'justification' could be 'reason' (I've seen this before) and 'reason' is found within the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treason that I've seen before include "Betraying one's country" , "One's art? (anag)" , "Serious crime" , "rebellion" , "Stare on (anag.)" .)
