Unethically obtained convoluted, long title (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illgotten

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unethically obtained' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'convoluted long title' is the wordplay.
'convoluted' indicates an anagram.
'long'+'title'='longtitle'
'longtitle' with letters rearranged gives 'ILLGOTTEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for illgotten that I've seen is " Hot".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
