Clearing voyeur, essentially for suggestive look (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glad eye

'suggestive look' is the definition.
(glad eye can mean a seductive look)

'clearing voyeur essentially' is the wordplay.
'clearing' becomes 'glade' (synonyms).
'essentially' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle letters of 'voyeur' are 'ye'.
'glade'+'ye'='GLAD EYE'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for glad eye that I've seen before include "Seductive look" , "Seductive glance" , "A look that could excite" , "amorous glance" , "look to attract lover?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
