Sort of lady we hate to precede (4,3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lead the way

'precede' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sort of lady we hate' is the wordplay.
'sort of' is an anagram indicator.
'lady'+'we'+'hate'='ladywehate'
'ladywehate' anagrammed gives 'LEAD THE WAY'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lead the way that I've seen before include "Go first and guide others" , "Act as a guide" , "Go ahead" , "Pioneer showing how" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
