Crossword Genius

Bury in virgin territory (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inter

'bury' is the definition.
('inter' can be a synonym of 'bury')

'in virgin territory' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'INTER' is hidden within 'virgin territory'.

(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Plant" , "Lay to rest" , "somewhere between ..." , "Send to ground" , "foreign team" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Globe and Mail.
