Loves an anagram to work out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solve

'work out' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'loves an anagram' is the wordplay.
'an anagram' is an anagram indicator.
'loves' anagrammed gives 'SOLVE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for solve that I've seen before include "do crosswords" , "Find the answer to this clue, for instance" , "Person living voluntarily outside their own country" , "Deal with (a problem)" , "Complete crossword" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
