Succeed in meeting that woman with sex appeal (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inherit

'succeed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in meeting that woman with sex appeal' is the wordplay.
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'that woman' becomes 'her' (I've seen this before**).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'sex appeal' becomes 'it'.
'in'+'her'+'it'='INHERIT'

(Other definitions for inherit that I've seen before include "Gain by succession" , "Be bequeathed" , "Receive from a deceased parent" , "Receive as bequest from will" , "Receive (as part of estate)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
