Tout really not breaking any rules (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solicit

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

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

'really not breaking any rules' is the wordplay.
'really' becomes 'so' (both can mean 'extremely').
'not breaking any rules' becomes 'licit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'so'+'licit'='SOLICIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for solicit that I've seen before include "Beg or court" , "Ask earnestly,seek to obtain" , "Invite, beg for" , "Tout" , "Drum up business" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
