A bit of luck to understand her completely (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

altogether

'completely' is the definition.
('altogether' can be a synonym of 'completely')

'a bit of luck to understand her' is the wordplay.
'bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
'understand' becomes 'get' (getting is a kind of understanding).
The first letter of 'luck' is 'l'.
'a'+'l'+'to'+'get'+'her'='ALTOGETHER'

(Other definitions for altogether that I've seen before include "Completely, in total" , "Completely, on the whole" , "special to get Hermes trousers" , "totally" , "Entirely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
