Crossword Genius

Conductor sat more awkwardly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maestro

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

'sat more awkwardly' is the wordplay.
'awkwardly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sat'+'more'='satmore'
'satmore' with letters rearranged gives 'MAESTRO'.

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "Genius possibly" , "Famous conductor" , "Means of payment" , "Orchestral conductor" , "Distinguished composer, conductor or performer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
