Old doer went off and salivated (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drooled

'salivated' is the definition.
(drooling is a kind of salivating)

'old doer went off' is the wordplay.
'went off' indicates an anagram.
'old'+'doer'='olddoer'
'olddoer' anagrammed gives 'DROOLED'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for drooled that I've seen is " Slavered".)

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