Troy upset novice (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tyro

'novice' is the definition.
(term for a beginner)

'troy upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'troy' anagrammed gives 'TYRO'.

(Other definitions for tyro that I've seen before include "Novice; Tory (anag.)" , "'Beginner, novice (4)'" , "Spell for rookie" , "Neophyte" , "Initiate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
