Leechlike (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parasitic

'leechlike' is the definition.
(I know that leechlike can be written as parasitic)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for parasitic that I've seen before include "Sponging" , "Such threats" , "Living at another creature's expense" , "hanging on?" , "to be paid for by someone else" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
