Admire run -- scrambled single (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unmarried

'single' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'admire run scrambled' is the wordplay.
'scrambled' indicates an anagram.
'admire'+'run'='admirerun'
'admirerun' anagrammed gives 'UNMARRIED'.

(Other definitions for unmarried that I've seen before include "Status of a bachelor" , "Single in terms of partnership" , "Not yet wed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
