Pastime for each businessman, say (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pursuit

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

'pastime' is the definition.
(I know that pursuit is a type of pastime)

'each businessman say' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'businessman' could be 'suit' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'suit' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pur' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pursuit that I've seen before include "Hobby" , "recreational activity" , "An activity not entirely innocent" , "See 1" , "Search" .)

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