Create green den when rambling (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

engender

'create' is the definition.
(engendering is a kind of creating)

'green den when rambling' is the wordplay.
'when rambling' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'green'+'den'='greenden'
'greenden' is an anagram of 'ENGENDER'.

(Other definitions for engender that I've seen before include "Give rise to; beget" , "Father" , "Precipitate" , "Give rise to, cause" , "Ned Green could breed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
