Man like Gove mostly annoyed Congress (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lovemaking

'congress' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'man like gove mostly annoyed' is the wordplay.
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'annoyed' is an anagram indicator.
'man'+'like'+'gove'='manlikegove'
'manlikegove' with its final letter taken off is 'manlikegov'.
'manlikegov' is an anagram of 'LOVEMAKING'.
