Crossword Genius

Copy found in tapestry (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ape

'copy' is the definition.
('ape' can be a synonym of 'copy')

'in tapestry' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'APE' can be found hidden inside 'tapestry'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ape that I've seen before include "Simulate" , "gorilla" , "Large primate" , "Closely follow" , "Imitate like primate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
