Look at ways to get peers assembled (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lords

'peers assembled' is the definition.
(members of the House of Lords)

'look at ways' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'ways' becomes 'rds' ('rd' is an abbreviation for 'road').
'lo'+'rds'='LORDS'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for lords that I've seen before include "Sports venue" , "Peers - setting for many an 6 test" , "house in London" , "MCC HQ" , "Titled noblemen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
