Cryptic clues? Answer is found in part of sentence (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clause

'part of sentence' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cryptic clues? answer is found in' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'is found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'clues' is an anagram of 'cluse'.
'cluse' placed around 'a' is 'CLAUSE'.

(Other definitions for clause that I've seen before include "Separate section of a legal document" , "Subordinate part of sentence" , "part of legal document" , "Part of a sentence with its own finite verb" , "Joker, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
