Chauffeur maybe found by old hill shrouded in haze (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motorist

'chauffeur' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'found by old hill shrouded in haze' is the wordplay.
'found by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'old' becomes 'o' (abbreviation).
'hill' becomes 'tor' (tor is a kind of hill).
'shrouded in' indicates putting letters inside.
'haze' becomes 'mist' (I've seen this in another clue).
'o' put next to 'tor' is 'otor'.
'otor' inserted within 'mist' is 'MOTORIST'.

'maybe' is the link.

(Other definitions for motorist that I've seen before include "One on the road" , "One driving" , "One drives" , "Woman taking mini" , "Traveller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
