More humorous, almost accompanying row (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wittier

'more humorous' is the definition.
('witty' can be similar in meaning to 'humorous')

'almost accompanying row' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'accompanying' becomes 'with' (I've seen this before).
'row' becomes 'tier' (tier is a kind of row).
'with' with its final letter removed is 'wit'.
'wit'+'tier'='WITTIER'

(Another definition for wittier that I've seen is " More amusing".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
