Easy to work with small composition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

essay

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

'easy to work with small' is the wordplay.
'to work with' is an anagram indicator (letters worked into a new order).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'easy' mixed up with 's' can make 'ESSAY'.

(Other definitions for essay that I've seen before include "Try; dissertation" , "Attempt - piece of writing" , "Try - composition" , "Thesis" , "School compeosition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
