Possibly press one for an answer (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

response

'for an answer' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'possibly press one' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'press'+'one'='pressone'
'pressone' is an anagram of 'RESPONSE'.

(Other definitions for response that I've seen before include "Sees porn (anag) - answer" , "Reaction, reply" , "Answer - reaction" , "Press one for a reply" , "Answer - retort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
