Ross

I believe the answer is:

edgar

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">painter degas</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for edgar that I've seen before include "- Wallace, Eng. thriller writer" , "King of England" , "character in King Lear" , "... Allan Poe, author" , "Grade (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The New York Times.
