Such a net may become loose (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unchaste

'loose' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'such a net may become' is the wordplay.
'may become' is an anagram indicator.
'such'+'a'+'net'='suchanet'
'suchanet' with letters rearranged gives 'UNCHASTE'.

(Other definitions for unchaste that I've seen before include "Enjoying sex" , "libertine" , "Impure" , "Sexually immodest" , "Dissolute" .)

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