Approve of Irish descendant of Mrs Corleone? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

okay

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

'approve' is the definition.
(I know that approve can be written as okay)

'of irish descendant of mrs corleone?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'mrs' could be 'kay' and 'kay' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for okay that I've seen before include "Permissible (colloq.)" , "Approve, endorse" , "Passable" , "Fairly good; approve" , "Satisfactory; permissible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
