Tom's baby clothing put on figure (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kitten

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

'tom's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'baby clothing put on figure' is the wordplay.
'baby clothing' becomes 'kit' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'baby' bit.).
'put on' says to put letters next to each other.
'figure' becomes 'ten' (ten is a number).
'kit'+'ten'='KITTEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kitten that I've seen before include "youngster" , "New cat" , "Young rabbit" , "Beatrix Potter's Tom, say" , "one to become queen?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
