Cable carried by rickshaw service (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hawser

'cable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carried by rickshaw service' is the wordplay.
'carried by' indicates a hidden word.
'HAWSER' can be found hidden inside 'rickshaw service'.

(Other definitions for hawser that I've seen before include "Heavy rope used at sea" , "Nautical rope or cable" , "Ship's large rope or small cable" , "Quayside rope" , "Large heavy rope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
