Dozens rue very chaotic meeting (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rendezvous

'meeting' is the definition.
(rendezvous is a kind of meeting)

'dozens rue very chaotic' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'chaotic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dozens'+'rue'+'v'='dozensruev'
'dozensruev' is an anagram of 'RENDEZVOUS'.

(Other definitions for rendezvous that I've seen before include "Meet - meeting" , "Date" , "Meeting-place" , "Arranged meeting" , "Meeting place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
