Clambering around youth (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lamb

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

'youth' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'clambering around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'LAMB' is hidden within 'clambering'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lamb that I've seen before include "Meaty" , "Mary, and Charles?" , "Sweet and innocent child" , "Exemplar of innocence" , "Young sheep" .)
