Practising self-denial (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascetic

(Other definitions for ascetic that I've seen before include "Self-denying person who shuns ordinary pleasures" , "One practising self-denial as a discipline" , "One living strict life" , "Severely self-disciplined" , "Self-denying, leading severely simple life" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
