Endearing label designed to cover the centre of Dover (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

loveable

loveblee

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

'label designed to cover the centre of dover' is the wordplay.
'designed' indicates anagramming the letters (designed with the letters).
'to cover' is an insertion indicator.
'the centre of' says to take the centre.
The middle letters of 'dover' are 'ove'.
'label' with letters rearranged gives 'lable'.
'lable' enclosing 'ove' is 'LOVEABLE'.

(Another definition for loveable that I've seen is " Attractive, endearing".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
