Skulk in the background (4)

I believe the answer is:

lurk

(Other definitions for lurk that I've seen before include "Hide or wait stealthily" , "Loiter with intent" , "Linger around furtively" , "View an online forum without contributing" , "Hide menacingly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
