Crossword Genius

Covering used in Soho Odeon (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hood

'covering' is the definition.
(hood is a kind of covering)

'in soho odeon' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HOOD' is hidden in the letters of 'soho odeon'.

'used' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hood that I've seen before include "See 8" , "A cover; Bismarck sank it, 1941" , "Bronx district" , "Head covering or American car bonnet" , "Cover - American gangster - Robin?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
