Check letter that glosses over taunt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heckle

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

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

'check letter that glosses' is the wordplay.
'HECKLE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

'over' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heckle that I've seen before include "Taunt" , "Mock or harangue speaker from crowd" , "Shout disruptively at performer" , "Jeer or interrupt speaker from crowd" , "Barrack speaker" .)
