Droopy ties rearranged in store (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depository

'store' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'droopy ties rearranged' is the wordplay.
'rearranged' indicates an anagram.
'droopy'+'ties'='droopyties'
'droopyties' anagrammed gives 'DEPOSITORY'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for depository that I've seen before include "housed here" , "store" , "Storage place" , "maybe safe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
