Chatting about head wear (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hat

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

'head wear' is the definition.
'hat' can be an answer for 'wear' (hat is a kind of wear). I'm not certain of the 'head' bit.

'chatting about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'HAT' is hidden in the letters of 'chatting'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hat that I've seen before include "Head-covering" , "Headwear" , "Headgear decoration" , "Lid" , "Accessory" .)
