Crossword Genius

Ring round for smile (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grin

'smile' is the definition.
(grinning is a kind of smiling)

'ring round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates an anagram.
'ring' with letters rearranged gives 'GRIN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for grin that I've seen before include "Look pleased" , "A broad smile showing the teeth" , "Happy expression" , "Give a broad smile" , "Smile broadly showing teeth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
