Son had fun with toys spread out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

splayed

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

'son had fun with toys' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's'.
'had fun with toys' becomes 'played'.
's'+'played'='SPLAYED'

(Other definitions for splayed that I've seen before include "with legs apart" , "Turned out" , "Spread apart" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
