Do see I said I left the last to be readily trained (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

docile

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

'be readily trained' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'do see i said i left the last' is the wordplay.
'see i said i left' becomes 'cil' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'last' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'the' is 'e'.
'do'+'cil'+'e'='DOCILE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for docile that I've seen before include "Manageable" , "Coiled in submissive way" , "Easily managed and trainable" , "Meek and biddable" , "Tractable and pliant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
