Excuse for upsetting a senora? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reason

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

'upsetting a senora?' is the wordplay.
'upsetting' indicates an anagram.
'senora' anagrammed gives 'REASON'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for reason that I've seen before include "Cause or motive" , "Logic, sense" , "Defence" , "Cause; think logically" , "Logic and rationality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
