Crossword Genius

Adolescent infatuation with a Turkish official (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pasha

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

'turkish official' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'adolescent infatuation with a' is the wordplay.
'adolescent infatuation' becomes 'pash' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pash'+'a'='PASHA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pasha that I've seen before include "Muslim dignitary" , "Civil or military authority in Turkey or Egypt" , "High ranking Turkish official or officer" , "High-ranking Turk" , "Former provincial governor in Egypt" .)
