Act it out in loft (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attic

'loft' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'act it out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'act'+'it'='actit'
'actit' anagrammed gives 'ATTIC'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for attic that I've seen before include "cockloft" , "Athenian Greek" , "Loft room" , "Greek - garret" , "Top chamber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
