The hot toddy man (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otto

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

'man' is the definition.
(I have seen 'A man' mean 'otto' so perhaps 'man' could also mean 'otto')

'the hot toddy' is the wordplay.
'OTTO' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Palindromic fragrance" , "Emperor's" , "fragrance comes from?" , "- - Preminger (films)" , "Essential oil from flowers - German boy's name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
