Corgi seen out of place (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recognise

'place' is the definition.
('place'->'recognize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'corgi seen out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'corgi'+'seen'='corgiseen'
'corgiseen' with letters rearranged gives 'RECOGNISE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for recognise that I've seen before include "Acknowledge value" , "Identify - know" , "Identify as previously known" , "See" , "Know from having seen before" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
