Shakespearean character's not large drunk male (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bottom

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

'not large drunk male' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'shakespearean character's' is the wordplay.
'shakespearean' becomes 'botto' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'character' becomes 'm'.
'botto'+'m'='BOTTOM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bottom that I've seen before include "Quark's flavour" , "Lowest position" , "far end" , "foot" , "A Midsummer-Night's Dream character" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
