Poe said to become fatty (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adipose

'fatty' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'poe said to become' is the wordplay.
'to become' is an anagram indicator.
'poe'+'said'='poesaid'
'poesaid' with letters rearranged gives 'ADIPOSE'.

(Other definitions for adipose that I've seen before include "Like fatty tissue" , "Containing fat" , "Relating to fat" , "I soaped up with fatty kind of tissue" , "Relating to fatty tissue" .)

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