Liaisons in a toilet women are unlikely to frequent? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agents

'liaisons' is the definition.

'a toilet women are unlikely to frequent?' is the wordplay.
'toilet women are unlikely to frequent?' becomes 'gents'.
'a'+'gents'='AGENTS'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for agents that I've seen before include "Representatives" , "They operate on behalf of others" , "Instruments" , "Sales reps" , "They do business on behalf of others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
