Scuffle about a scarf (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fracas

'scuffle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'about a scarf' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'scarf'='ascarf'
'ascarf' with letters rearranged gives 'FRACAS'.

(Other definitions for fracas that I've seen before include "Noisy altercation" , "Brawl, disturbance" , "Scrap" , "Trouble" , "A scarf (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
