Mark's naughty child right outside home (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imprint

'mark's' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'naughty child right outside home' is the wordplay.
'naughty child' becomes 'imp' (informal term for a misbehaving child).
'right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'outside' is an insertion indicator (some letters go outside others).
'home' becomes 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home).
'rt' placed around 'in' is 'rint'.
'imp'+'rint'='IMPRINT'

(Other definitions for imprint that I've seen before include "Mark produced by pressure" , "make an impact" , "Stamp; brand" , "Publisher's name on title-page of book" , "Stamp; impression" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
