Self-denying (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascetic

'self-denying' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ascetic that I've seen before include "Severely self-disciplined" , "Practising severe self-discipline" , "One avoiding indulgence" , "Religiously self-disciplined" , "One practising self-denial as a discipline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
