Spooner not allowed witch's purse (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handbag

'purse' is the definition.
(synonyms)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for handbag that I've seen before include "Woman's holdall?" , "Little line on printed character" , "Purse (in America)" , "'A ---?', famous Lady Bracknell line (Wilde)" , "Large purse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
