... and another the ladies maybe upset? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

val

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

'and another' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'ladies maybe upset?' is the wordplay.
'ladies maybe' becomes 'lav' (type of lavatory).
'upset?' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'upset' mean this).
'lav' reversed gives 'VAL'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for val that I've seen before include "girl" , "- Kilmer, US_actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
