Crossword Genius

Spouse carelessly works (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opuses

'works' is the definition.
(an opus is a creative work)

'spouse carelessly' is the wordplay.
'carelessly' indicates an anagram.
'spouse' with letters rearranged gives 'OPUSES'.

(Other definitions for opuses that I've seen before include "pieces of music" , "Musical works" .)
