Crossword Genius

Ladies possibly wanting occupation, I admitted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toilet

'ladies' is the definition.
(ladies toilet)

'wanting occupation i admitted' is the wordplay.
'wanting occupation' becomes 'to let' (as in a house which is to to let).
'admitted' indicates putting letters inside.
'tolet' enclosing 'i' is 'TOILET'.

'possibly' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for toilet that I've seen before include "A formal loo" , "where penny the cost?" , "It means washing" , "Waste disposal unit" , "WC" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
