Be effusive in escorting us home (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gush

'be effusive' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in escorting us home' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GUSH' is hidden within 'escorting us home'.

(Other definitions for gush that I've seen before include "Be over-effusive" , "Spout powerfully" , "Effuse" , "Sudden stream or jet" , "Spout like oil-well" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
