Baffles husband with tissue (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flesh

'tissue' is the definition.
(I know that flesh is a type of tissue)

'baffles husband with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'FLESH' is hidden in the letters of 'baffles husband'.

(Other definitions for flesh that I've seen before include "Edible part of fruit" , "Edible fruit pulp" , "Substance of animal body on shelf" , "Excess weight" , "Soft tissue of animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
