Worker takes bus out to see other half (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

husband

'other half' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'worker takes bus out' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'hand' (hand is a kind of worker).
'takes' is an insertion indicator.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'bus' with letters rearranged gives 'usb'.
'hand' placed around 'usb' is 'HUSBAND'.

'to see' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for husband that I've seen before include "Consort" , "M arried man" , "Partner; use carefully" , "Mate" , "Use economically - partner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
