She has a course to steer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anne

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

'steer' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'she has a course' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'ann' (I've seen this before).
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'a course' becomes 'e'.
'ann'+'e'='ANNE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "'---- of Green Gables', novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery" , "One of Henry VIII's wives" , "One of two Henry VIII wives" , "British monarch, d. 1714" , "Henry VIII's fourth wife" .)
