Cross, somewhat tetchy bridegroom (6)

I believe the answer is:

hybrid

'cross' is the definition.
(I know that cross can be written as hybrid)

'somewhat tetchy bridegroom' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'HYBRID' is hidden in the letters of 'tetchy bridegroom'.

(Other definitions for hybrid that I've seen before include "Crossbred" , "Offspring of mixed parents" , "Of mixed character" , "Plant grown from two different species" , "Genetic cross" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
