Adders somehow spot letter-opener, presumably (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

addressee

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'letter-opener presumably' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'adders somehow spot' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'spot' becomes 'see' (both can mean to notice or observe).
'adders' with letters rearranged gives 'addres'.
'addres'+'see'='ADDRESSEE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for addressee that I've seen before include "He's written to" , "He gets a letter" , "Person named on an envelope" , "Recipient of post" , "one who's likely to get the post" .)
