Reluctant to see a rhyme (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

averse

'reluctant' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a rhyme' is the wordplay.
'rhyme' becomes 'verse' ('verse' can be a synonym of 'rhyme').
'a'+'verse'='AVERSE'

'to see' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for averse that I've seen before include "Reaves (anag)" , "A piece of poetry is reluctant" , "Metal rod; card game" , "'Opposed, disinclined (6)'" , "Indisposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
