Crossword Genius

Fellow has hesitation with one dose to be attended to (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chaperoned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dose to be attended to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fellow has hesitation with one' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'chap' (both can mean a man).
'has hesitation' becomes 'erd' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'erd' placed around 'one' is 'eroned'.
'chap'+'eroned'='CHAPERONED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for chaperoned that I've seen is " Protected".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
