Arab bigwig (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emir

'arab bigwig' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for emir that I've seen before include "Arab ruler" , "Islamic ruler" , "Ruler or chieftain in Arabia" , "Eastern ruler in mire" , "Leading role" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The New York Times.
