Foul peers cavorting still (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reposeful

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

'foul peers cavorting' is the wordplay.
'cavorting' is an anagram indicator.
'foul'+'peers'='foulpeers'
'foulpeers' anagrammed gives 'REPOSEFUL'.

(Other definitions for reposeful that I've seen before include "with calming effect" , "still" , "serenity" , "Laid-back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
