Acrobat’s name (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rob

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

'name' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'acrobat's' is the wordplay.
'ROB' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rob that I've seen before include "Take something without the owner's consent" , "Take without consent from the owner" , "Hold up" , "Burgle" , "Unlawfully take property from (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
