Pam's not going around with Pat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

postman

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

'pat' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'pam's not going around' is the wordplay.
'going around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pams'+'not'='pamsnot'
'pamsnot' anagrammed gives 'POSTMAN'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for postman that I've seen before include "Chap with letters" , "Mail deliverer" , "one delivers" , "Letter deliverer" , "Male mail carrier" .)
