Hang around to see a female (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loaf

'hang around' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'see a female' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'lo' (archaic word meaning 'look!').
'a female' becomes 'af' (I've seen this in other clues).
'lo'+'af'='LOAF'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for loaf that I've seen before include "Quantity of bread" , "Bread - use yours to think?" , "BRINK/BRICK" , "Portion of bread" , "To take things easy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
