Bar the clever bit (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lever

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

'bar' is the definition.
(lever is a kind of bar)

'the clever bit' is the wordplay.
'LEVER' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lever that I've seen before include "Crowbar" , "Bar turning on a fulcrum" , "Bar for prising something" , "Prise using bar" , "Rigid bar pivoting about a fulcrum" .)
