Chap hunted by a barbarian? (3)

I believe the answer is:

ted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chap' is the definition.

'hunted by a barbarian' is the wordplay.
'TED' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ted that I've seen before include "Edward (dim.)" , "one of the Kennedys" , "- Hughes, Eng. Poet" , ". . . Kennedy, Father . . ." , "The familiar American Senator Kennedy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
