Man you write lies about? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isle

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

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

'you write lies about?' is the wordplay.
'lies' can be anagrammed to 'ISLE'.
But, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "Said of Sheppey, Dogs, Wight or Man?" , "Could be Man" , "This could be key" , "Anglesey, say" , "Prince Edward perhaps" .)
