Suggest annuities are dodgy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insinuate

'suggest' is the definition.
(insinuating is a kind of suggesting)

'annuities are dodgy' is the wordplay.
'are dodgy' indicates an anagram (a dodgy or wrong order of the letters).
'annuities' is an anagram of 'INSINUATE'.

(Other definitions for insinuate that I've seen before include "Indirectly suggest (something unpleasant)" , "Intimate, give to understand" , "Suggest by indirect means" , "Snidely suggest" , "Intimate, imply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
