Seeing off rum, becomes awkward (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cumbersome

'awkward' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'seeing off rum becomes' is the wordplay.
'seeing off' indicates an anagram.
'rum'+'becomes'='rumbecomes'
'rumbecomes' anagrammed gives 'CUMBERSOME'.

(Other definitions for cumbersome that I've seen before include "Awkward" , "Unwieldy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
