Might woman throw rope around? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

power

'might' is the definition.
(being mighty)

'woman throw rope around?' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'W' (abbreviation eg in Woman Police Constable).
'throw' is an anagram indicator.
'around?' is an insertion indicator.
'rope' is an anagram of 'poer'.
'w' going into 'poer' is 'POWER'.

(Other definitions for power that I've seen before include "Strength - capacity" , "Supremacy, force" , "Government" , "Physical force, ability" , "Force, controlling influence 95)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
