Talk about milliner (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chatter

'talk' is the definition.
(chatter is a kind of talk)

'about milliner' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'c' (circa abbreviation).
'milliner' becomes 'hatter' (synonyms).
'c'+'hatter'='CHATTER'

(Other definitions for chatter that I've seen before include "Trivial conversation" , "Idle talk" , "Prattle" , "Talk noisily" , "Talk idly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
