Poet hurls out pad (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upholster

'pad' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'poet hurls out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'poet'+'hurls'='poethurls'
'poethurls' anagrammed gives 'UPHOLSTER'.

(Other definitions for upholster that I've seen before include "Furnish with padding" , "Pack seats" , "Cover furniture" , "Provide cover for" , "Provide furnishings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
