Stinking initials B.O. elicit sound of disapproval (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sibilation

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

'sound of disapproval' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.

'stinking initials b o elicit' is the wordplay.
'initials b o' anagrams to 'SIBILATION'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?
