You sound like one likely to get fleeced (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ewe

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

'one likely to get fleeced' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'you sound' is the wordplay.
'sound' shows a homophone (sound like).
'you' sounds like 'EWE'.

'like' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ewe that I've seen before include "creature" , "Lamb supplier" , "Palindrome for a female sheep" , "Dam of a sheep" , "One looking sheepish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
