Latitude for fellow with style (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leeway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'latitude' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for fellow with style' is the wordplay.
'for fellow' becomes 'lee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'style' becomes 'way' (synonyms).
'lee'+'way'='LEEWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leeway that I've seen before include "Margin, latitude, room" , "Room for free movement" , "Flexibility" , "Margin of tolerance" , "Room to manoeuvre, latitude" .)
