Effect of setter's agreement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impact

'effect' is the definition.
(I know that impact is a type of effect)

'setter's agreement' is the wordplay.
'setter's' becomes 'I'm' (I've seen this in other clues).
'agreement' becomes 'pact' (a pact is an agreement or deal).
'im'+'pact'='IMPACT'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for impact that I've seen before include "The force of one body against another" , "Strong effect" , "Force exerted by collision" , "Forceful contact between two objects" , "Forcible contact; marked influence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
