Yes, yes, yes! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

okay

'yes' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'yes yes' is the wordplay.
'yes' becomes 'ok' (both are affirmative answers).
'yes' becomes 'ay' ().
'ok'+'ay'='OKAY'

(Other definitions for okay that I've seen before include "Fairly good; approve" , "Correct" , "Not terrific but acceptable" , "in order" , "Permissible (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
