Satisfies, as set out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sates

'satisfies' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'as set out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'as'+'set'='asset'
'asset' with letters rearranged gives 'SATES'.

(Other definitions for sates that I've seen before include "Gluts or cloys with excess" , "Fills with food, stuffs" , "Fills to satisfaction" , "Satisfies -- asset (anag)" , "Stuffs or cloys with excess" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
