Crossword Genius

Doctor tries to pinch bottom of overweight model (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sitter

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

'doctor tries to pinch bottom of overweight' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to pinch' indicates putting letters inside.
'bottom of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'overweight' is 't'.
'tries' anagrammed gives 'siter'.
'siter' enclosing 't' is 'SITTER'.

(Other definitions for sitter that I've seen before include "Baby minder for pay" , "one rarely missed?" , "One posing for artist" , "broody type" , "one can't stand?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
