Red Queen’s disposition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheer

'disposition' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'red queen's' is the wordplay.
'red' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'queen' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'che'+'er'='CHEER'

(Other definitions for cheer that I've seen before include "pair of hips can get me going!" , "Vocal sound of applause" , "Shout of praise or joy" , "Hearten; shout" , "Shout of encouragement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
