Temporary, improvised (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

makeshift

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">temporary</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">improvised</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that improvised can be written as makeshift)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for makeshift that I've seen before include "temporary expedient" , "Temporary or improvised substitute" , "(Acting as) temporary substitute" , "Serving as a temporary and less adequate substitute for something" , "Rough-and-ready" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
