Crossword Genius

Count coming from Loire -- lynched (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rely

'count' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'coming from loire lynched' is the wordplay.
'coming from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RELY' can be found hidden inside 'loire lynched'.

(Other definitions for rely that I've seen before include "Be sure" , "Run and see" , "Depend on with confidence" , "Have confidence or faith in" , "Depend, bank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
