Crossword Genius

Rebellious as well, moving south (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lawless

'rebellious' is the definition.

'as well moving south' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram.
'south' becomes 'S' (abbreviation).
'as'+'well'='aswell'
'aswell' with letters rearranged gives 'lawles'.
'lawles'+'s'='LAWLESS'

(Other definitions for lawless that I've seen before include "disobedient" , "Anarchic, without any controls" , "Without rules" , "Slew Sal for being criminal" , "Anarchy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
