Determined to see what the future holds (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outlook

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what the future holds' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'determined to see' is the wordplay.
'determined' becomes 'out'.
'to see' becomes 'look' (I've seen this in another clue).
'out'+'look'='OUTLOOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outlook that I've seen before include "Forecast" , "Future prospect" , "Future prospects or pleasant view" , "Mental point of view" , "Point of view - prospect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
