Brazen solicitor finally put away (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tout

'brazen solicitor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'finally put away' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'away' becomes 'out' (similar in meaning).
The last letter of 'put' is 't'.
't'+'out'='TOUT'

(Other definitions for tout that I've seen before include "Attempt to sell (a thing)" , "All in Paris" , "Attempt to sell, perhaps by pestering" , "Solicit (business) brazenly" , "Ticket profiteer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
