Cry during homework (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mew

'cry' is the definition.
(mew is a kind of cry)

'during homework' is the wordplay.
'during' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MEW' is hidden in the letters of 'homework'.

(Other definitions for mew that I've seen before include "Miaow" , "Seagull" , "Cat's sound" , "Feline sound" , "Animal sound" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
