Prepared to scan a letter (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ready

'prepared' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'scan a letter' is the wordplay.
'scan' becomes 'read' (synonyms).
'a letter' becomes 'y' (Y is a letter of the alphabet).
'read'+'y'='READY'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for ready that I've seen before include "bread" , "All set to go" , "Fully prepared" , "Primed" , "Intelligent" .)
