The raffia-weaving business (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

affair

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

'the raffia-weaving' is the wordplay.
'weaving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters weaved together differently).
'raffia' with letters rearranged gives 'AFFAIR'.

(Other definitions for affair that I've seen before include "Concern (maybe extra-marital?)" , "Sexual liaison - concern" , "Amour" , "A fling (or something more serious?)" , "Concern, matter, business" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
