Clear I’d got wrapped up in incident (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evident

'clear' is the definition.
('evident' can be a synonym of 'clear')

'i'd got wrapped up in incident' is the wordplay.
'got wrapped up in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'incident' becomes 'event' (I've seen this before).
'id' put within 'event' is 'EVIDENT'.

(Other definitions for evident that I've seen before include "Obvious - 1 across" , "Plain to see" , "'Plain, apparent (7)'" , "Visible - plain" , "Patent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
