Will female divorcee miraculously cure it with a kiss? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

executrix

'will female' is the definition.
(female executing someone's will)

'divorcee miraculously cure it with a kiss?' is the wordplay.
'divorcee' becomes 'ex' (an ex-spouse).
'miraculously' is an anagram indicator.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a kiss?' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
'cure'+'it'='cureit'
'cureit' anagrammed gives 'ecutri'.
'ex'+'ecutri'+'x'='EXECUTRIX'

(Other definitions for executrix that I've seen before include "Legal appointee's" , "she carries out someone's last wishes..." .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
