Makes eyes round shapely legs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogles

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'makes eyes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'round shapely legs' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (o is a circular letter) and 'o' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'legs' is 'gles' which is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ogles that I've seen before include "Looks at (someone) lecherously" , "Looks longingly at" , "Casts amorous glances" , "Leers" , "Looks at amorously, makes eyes at" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
