Andean cleric? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dean

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

'andean cleric?' is the definition.
'dean' can be an answer for 'cleric?' (I've seen this in other clues). I'm unsure of the 'andean' bit.

'andean cleric?' is the wordplay.
'DEAN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dean that I've seen before include "Administrator of a college department" , "James ..., film actor" , "Clergyman; narrow valley" , "Cathedral chapter head" , "Administrator of a university department" .)
