Not totally wanton, I'm saying about woman (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yasmin

'woman' is the definition.

'not totally wanton i'm saying about' is the wordplay.
'not totally' indicates a hidden word (only some letters are used).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'nimsay' is hidden within 'wanton im saying'.
'nimsay' backwards is 'YASMIN'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
