Fudge I share out, OK (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

authorise

'ok' is the definition.
(I know that ok can be written as authorise)

'fudge i share out' is the wordplay.
'fudge' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'share'+'out'='ishareout'
'ishareout' is an anagram of 'AUTHORISE'.

(Other definitions for authorise that I've seen before include "Give official permission to" , "OK" , "Give power to or sanction" , "commission" , "Sanction, empower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
