Crossword Genius

Artist and others associated with lady (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

etcher

'artist' is the definition.
(I know that etcher is a type of artist)

'and others associated with lady' is the wordplay.
'and others' becomes 'etc'.
'associated with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'lady' becomes 'her' (her refers to a woman).
'etc'+'her'='ETCHER'

(Other definitions for etcher that I've seen before include "A designing individual" , "Artist using acid on metal" , "one may impress deeply" , "One makes a deep impression" , "Maybe she makes engravings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
