Amelia’s boy? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mel

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

'boy?' is the definition.

'amelia's' is the wordplay.
'MEL' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mel that I've seen before include "Honey" , "-- Brooks, film director" , "- - Gibson (actor)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
