List that is full of incorrect times (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

itemise

'list' is the definition.
('list'->'itemize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'that is full of incorrect times' is the wordplay.
'that is' becomes 'ie' ('i.e.' can be a synonym of 'that is').
'full of' indicates putting letters inside.
'incorrect' indicates anagramming the letters.
'times' anagrammed gives 'temis'.
'ie' going around 'temis' is 'ITEMISE'.

(Other definitions for itemise that I've seen before include "break down" , "Enumerate" , "List one by one (S, not Z)" , "specific" , "Formulate a list" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
