Crossword Genius

Doctor urges one to become willing to give (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

generous

'willing to give' is the definition.
(generous could mean willing to give something)

'doctor urges one' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'urges'+'one'='urgesone'
'urgesone' is an anagram of 'GENEROUS'.

'to become' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for generous that I've seen before include "Liberal, bountiful" , "Princely" , "Willing to give unstintingly" , "Handsome" , "Munificent; liberal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
