Crossword Genius

Label as "an adherent" (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sticker

This clue is a double definition.

'label' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'an adherent' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for sticker that I've seen before include "Determined person" , "Person with staying power" , "he soldiers on!" , "Gummed label" , "problem" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
