Assemble Mercedes securing badge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emblem

'badge' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'assemble mercedes securing' is the wordplay.
'securing' indicates a hidden word.
'EMBLEM' is hidden within 'assemble mercedes'.

(Other definitions for emblem that I've seen before include "Symbol, representing a country say" , "Badge, token" , "Logo" , "Symbolic object" , "Badge or representative device" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
