Notice pair with enough (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adequate

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

'enough' is the definition.
(I know that enough can be written as adequate)

'notice pair' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad' (both can mean an advertisement).
'pair' becomes 'equate' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ad'+'equate'='ADEQUATE'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adequate that I've seen before include "Ample" , "Enough to meet a purpose" , "Good or plentiful enough" , "Good enough, acceptable" , "Satisfactory, good enough" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
