Choose from a limited selection (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elect

'choose' is the definition.
(I know that elect is a more specific form of the action choose)

'from a limited selection' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ELECT' can be found hidden inside 'limited selection'.

(Other definitions for elect that I've seen before include "Make" , "Chosen, singled out" , "Choose for Parliament, say" , "Return" , "Chosen - to vote" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
