Sanctimonious sort (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pharisee

'sanctimonious sort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pharisee that I've seen before include "Hare pies for the Biblical pedant" , "A Biblical hypocrite" , "Self-righteous Biblical person" , "hypocritical type" , "Self-righteous person - one of an ancient Jewish sect" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
