Large Italian male, agile (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lithe

'agile' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'large italian male' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'italian' becomes 'it'.
'male' becomes 'he'.
'l'+'it'+'he'='LITHE'

(Other definitions for lithe that I've seen before include "Lissome, supple" , "Moving and bending with ease" , "grace" , "Supple and limber" , "Slender, supple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
