A certain habit antagonises those hanging around resident (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inhabitant

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

'resident' is the definition.
(I know that resident can be written as inhabitant)

'a certain habit antagonises those hanging' is the wordplay.
'INHABITANT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inhabitant that I've seen before include "One living in a place" , "One who stays in" , "Resident" , "One occupying a place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
