Clue an alternative for 'Loosen' (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unlace

'loosen' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'clue an alternative' is the wordplay.
'alternative' is an anagram indicator.
'clue'+'an'='cluean'
'cluean' is an anagram of 'UNLACE'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for unlace that I've seen before include "Untie" , "Loosen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
