Caught in tangled net near doorway (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrance

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

'caught in tangled net near' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'tangled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'net'+'near'='netnear'
'netnear' is an anagram of 'entrane'.
'c' placed inside 'entrane' is 'ENTRANCE'.

(Other definitions for entrance that I've seen before include "Charm, delight" , "Vestibule" , "foyer?" , "Way in - hypnotise" , "Way in - fascinate" .)
