Sexy type liable to stray (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satyr

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

'sexy type' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'liable to stray' is the wordplay.
'stray' can be anagrammed to 'SATYR'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satyr that I've seen before include "Woodland spirit" , "Forest god - old goat" , "Lecherous god" , "Chased nymphs in the wood" , "Pursuer of nymph" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
