Agile learner lives a bit (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lissome

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

'learner lives a bit' is the wordplay.
'learner' becomes 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car).
'lives' becomes 'is' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'a bit' becomes 'some' (I've seen this in another clue).
'l'+'is'+'some'='LISSOME'

(Other definitions for lissome that I've seen before include "Lithe; nimble" , "So smile, being agile and lithe" , "Moving supply" , "Willowy" , "flexible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
