Crossword Genius

Husky that Roy recollected (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

throaty

'husky' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'that roy recollected' is the wordplay.
'recollected' is an anagram indicator.
'that'+'roy'='thatroy'
'thatroy' anagrammed gives 'THROATY'.

(Other definitions for throaty that I've seen before include "(Of voice) deep, husky" , "Like Hacker, maybe" , "roughly speaking" , "Hoarse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
