Crossword Genius

Some layabout I question to find shop (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boutique

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

'some layabout i question to' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'BOUTIQUE' is hidden within 'layabout i question to'.

'find' is the link.

(Other definitions for boutique that I've seen before include "Small specialist shop" , "Trendy shop" , "Small shop selling fashionable clothes" , "Fashionable clothes store" , "Small, expensive shop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
