Listened to this or that, sorceress (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

witch

'sorceress' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'listened to this or that' is the wordplay.
'listened to' shows a homophone (sound like).
'this or that' becomes 'which' (question meaning 'this or that').
'which' is a homophone of 'WITCH'.

(Other definitions for witch that I've seen before include "One supposed to have magical powers" , "'The Lion, the - - and the Wardrobe'" , "Bad speller!" , "... and magician" , "Hag, crone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
