Saw what might be done easily (4,4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laid eyes on

'saw' is the definition.
(laying eyes on is a kind of seeing)

'what might be done easily' is the wordplay.
'what might be' indicates an anagram.
'done'+'easily'='doneeasily'
'doneeasily' with letters rearranged gives 'LAID EYES ON'.

(Another definition for laid eyes on that I've seen is " saw".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
