Respected Ottoman finish in programme? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agenda

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'programme?' is the definition.
(I know that agenda is a type of plan)

'respected ottoman finish in' is the wordplay.
'respected ottoman' becomes 'aga' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'aga' going around 'end' is 'AGENDA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agenda that I've seen before include "Meeting's topics" , "Schedule - things to be done" , "Scheme" , "Plan for meeting" , "Matters to be addressed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
