Stray around in the woods perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satyr

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the woods perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'stray around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'stray' is an anagram of 'SATYR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satyr that I've seen before include "Greek sylvan deity" , "nymphalid" , "Chaser of wine and women" , "oversexed fellow" , "Horse man attending Bacchus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
