Lennon’s lass playing one sitar? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senorita

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

'lennon's lass' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'playing one sitar?' is the wordplay.
'playing' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'sitar'='onesitar'
'onesitar' with letters rearranged gives 'SENORITA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senorita that I've seen before include "Abroad, miss" , "Young Spanish woman for notaries" , "Spanish miss" , "Treason I commit for young Spanish woman" , "Young Spanish lady" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
