I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">concealing</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that concealing can be written as hiding)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for hiding that I've seen before include "physical punishment" , "Concealing oneself - good thrashing" , "Beating; severe defeat" , "Beating - state of concealment" , "Beating - retreat" .)
