Master might get round very abrupt and entitled fellow (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overlord

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

'master' is the definition.
(I know that master can be written as overlord)

'round very abrupt and entitled fellow' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'very' could be 'v' (abbreviation) and 'v' is located in the answer.
'entitled' could be 'lord' (I've seen this before) and 'lord' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'might get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
