Crossword Genius

Bishop to wander in the bush (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bramble

'bush' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bishop to wander' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'to wander' becomes 'ramble' (synonyms).
'b'+'ramble'='BRAMBLE'

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bramble that I've seen before include "Briar" , "Gather fruit" , "Dog rose" , "Blackberry shrub" , "Wild thorny shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
