What le outré means (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wealth

'means' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'what le outre' is the wordplay.
'outre' indicates an anagram.
'what'+'le'='whatle'
'whatle' anagrammed gives 'WEALTH'.

(Other definitions for wealth that I've seen before include "Riches, worldly goods" , "Material worth" , "An abundance of valuable possessions or money" , "Mammon" , "Possessions and resources" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
