Caught greeting in cavern (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cave

'cavern' is the definition.
(I know that cave is a type of cavern)

'caught greeting' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'greeting' becomes 'ave' (Latin greeting).
'c'+'ave'='CAVE'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for cave that I've seen before include "Natural underground chamber" , "Hollow in a rock" , "hole" , "Underground enclosure with surface access" , "Subject of speleology" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
