Figure of old Charlie — with label attached (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

octagon

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

'figure' is the definition.
(type of geometrical figure)

'old charlie with label attached' is the wordplay.
'old charlie' becomes 'oc' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'label' becomes 'tag' (synonyms).
'attached' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'oc'+'tag'+'on'='OCTAGON'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for octagon that I've seen before include "plane figure" , "Figure with 8 sides" , "with eight angles" , "Eight-sided figure" , "regular form" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
