Said yes, ignoring a deadly sin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

greed

'deadly sin' is the definition.
(greed is a kind of deadly sin)

'said yes ignoring a' is the wordplay.
'said yes' becomes 'agreed' (I've seen this before).
'ignoring' is a deletion indicator.
'agreed' with 'a' taken away is 'GREED'.

(Other definitions for greed that I've seen before include "Circuit" , "Avarice, cupidity" , "Rapacious desire" , "Voracity" , "Wanting too much" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
