To s-see a drunkard (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tosspot

'a drunkard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to s-see' is the wordplay.
's-see' becomes 's-spot' ('spot' said with a stutter like 'see' was; to spot is to notice or catch sight of).
'to'+'sspot'='TOSSPOT'

(Other definitions for tosspot that I've seen before include "Fool" , "One drunkard" , "supper, habitually" , "One drinker" , "Habitual drinker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
