Crossword Genius

Notice disguise of consultant (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advisor

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

'consultant' is the definition.
(I know that consultant can be written as advisor)

'notice disguise' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad' (both can mean an advertisement).
'disguise' becomes 'visor' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ad'+'visor'='ADVISOR'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for advisor that I've seen before include "one counsels" , "Guide; VI roads (anag.)" , "Wise counsellor" , "One recommends" , "One giving counsel (O, not E)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
