So Ann's going around with an old sailor! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anson

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

'an old sailor' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'so ann's going around' is the wordplay.
'going around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'so' placed inside 'ann' is 'ANSON'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for anson that I've seen is " George ____, circumnavigator and admiral, 1697-1762".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
