Crossword Genius

Beth robbed, partly getting beat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

throb

'beat' is the definition.
(I know that throb is a type of beat)

'beth robbed partly' is the wordplay.
'partly' says the answer is hidden in the clue (part of the clue is used).
'THROB' can be found hidden inside 'beth robbed'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for throb that I've seen before include "Strong regular beat" , "Pound" , "Martin -; Kingsley -" , "beat repeatedly" , "Beat strongly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
