Squeezes a disc between west and south (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrings

'squeezes' is the definition.
('wring' can be a synonym of 'squeeze')

'a disc between west and south' is the wordplay.
'a disc' becomes 'ring'.
'between' is an insertion indicator.
'west' becomes 'W' (abbreviation).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'south' becomes 'S' (abbreviation).
'w'+'s'='ws'
'ring' going into 'ws' is 'WRINGS'.

(Other definitions for wrings that I've seen before include "Twists and squeezes, maybe hands in distress" , "Twists and squeezes to remove liquid" , "Wrenches" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
