Air posed problem for take-offs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parodies

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

'take-offs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'air posed problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates an anagram.
'air'+'posed'='airposed'
'airposed' anagrammed gives 'PARODIES'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parodies that I've seen before include "Sends up" , "Feeble imitations, travesties" , "They take off" , "Comic travesties" , "Spoofs, lampoons" .)
