Crossword Genius

Sound reasonable, disguising a meekness (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

make sense

'sound reasonable' is the definition.

'disguising a meekness' is the wordplay.
'disguising' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'meekness'='ameekness'
'ameekness' with letters rearranged gives 'MAKE SENSE'.

(Other definitions for make sense that I've seen before include "Slaughterhouse" , "Be intelligible" , "Add up" , "Be rational" , "Be understandable or practicable - it's logical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
