Do it fine in sporty Focus (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

definition

'focus' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'do it fine in sporty' is the wordplay.
'sporty' indicates an anagram.
'do'+'it'+'fine'+'in'='doitfinein'
'doitfinein' with letters rearranged gives 'DEFINITION'.

(Another definition for definition that I've seen is " (Word's) meaning".)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
