Spray in a looser distribution (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aerosol

'spray' is the definition.
(as in an aerosol spray)

'a looser distribution' is the wordplay.
'distribution' indicates anagramming the letters.
'looser' is an anagram of 'erosol'.
'a'+'erosol'='AEROSOL'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aerosol that I've seen before include "Atomiser" , "Spray creator" , "What makes mist" , "Air-spray" , "Container with device for releasing contents as fine spray" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
