Docile pair working for magazine (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

periodical

'magazine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'docile pair working' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates an anagram.
'docile'+'pair'='docilepair'
'docilepair' anagrammed gives 'PERIODICAL'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for periodical that I've seen before include "Magazine" , "Publication" , "Newspaper" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
