Second Prime Minister to bottle a Waltzer? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strauss

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

'waltzer?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'second prime minister to bottle a' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'prime minister' becomes 'truss' (former UK prime minister Liz Truss).
'to bottle' is an insertion indicator (bottle can mean to contain).
'truss' going around 'a' is 'trauss'.
's'+'trauss'='STRAUSS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strauss that I've seen before include "Andrew --, England cricketer" , "US stars made the composer" , "Johann ......, the Viennese waltz king" , "34 [CRICKETER]" , "scorer" .)
