Possibility that doctor is kissing nurses (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

risk

'possibility' is the definition.

'doctor is kissing nurses' is the wordplay.
'nurses' indicates a hidden word (nurse can mean holding closely).
'RISK' is hidden in the letters of 'doctor is kissing'.

'that' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for risk that I've seen before include "Gamble" , "Jeopardy" , "Danger or hazard" , "Expose to danger" , "Assessment of potential dangers -- any silk saris (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
