Subtle meaning confused one voter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overtone

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

'subtle meaning' is the definition.
'overtone' can be an answer for 'meaning' (overtone is a kind of meaning). I'm unsure of the 'subtle' bit.

'confused one voter' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'one'+'voter'='onevoter'
'onevoter' with letters rearranged gives 'OVERTONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overtone that I've seen before include "hidden meaning" , "Subtle quality" , "part of harmonic series" , "Subtle implication or connotation" , "Association" .)

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