Saturate acting Dame? About right? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drench

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

'saturate' is the definition.
(I know that drench is a type of saturate)

'acting dame? about right?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' ('re' means regarding or about) and 're' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drench that I've seen before include "Soak, douse" , "Wet thoroughly, soak" , "Soak or saturate" , "Steep, soak" , "draught?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
