Ringing about boy worker (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resonant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ringing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about boy worker' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'boy worker' becomes 'sonant' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'sonant'='RESONANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resonant that I've seen before include "Like" , "Re-echoing" , "Ringing - earn tons (anag)" , "Not saner (anag) - ringing" , "Deeply sounding" .)
