Fitting to intern pet, somehow (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pertinent

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

'intern pet somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'intern'+'pet'='internpet'
'internpet' is an anagram of 'PERTINENT'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for pertinent that I've seen before include "Relevant, to the point" , "Relevent, material" , "Apposite" , "fitting" , "Appropriate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
