Wears scruffy clothing for November comeback (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

answer

'comeback' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wears scruffy clothing for november' is the wordplay.
'scruffy' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'clothing for' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'november' becomes 'n' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'wears' is an anagram of 'aswer'.
'aswer' going around 'n' is 'ANSWER'.

(Other definitions for answer that I've seen before include "Fulfil" , "Serve" , "It could give you a" , "'A soft . . . . . . turneth away wrath'" , "Acknowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
