Sow hit hard on the head must become dizzy? (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scatterbrained

'dizzy?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sow hit hard on the head' is the wordplay.
'sow' becomes 'scatter' (scattering is a kind of sowing).
'hit hard on the head' becomes 'brained' (brain can mean to hit on the head).
'scatter'+'brained'='SCATTERBRAINED'

'must become' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scatterbrained that I've seen before include "Inattentive" , "Unfocused" , "Inclined to forget" , "easily distracted - with 20d" , "absent-minded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
