Cryptic in Telegraph I'd denigrated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hidden

'cryptic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in telegraph i'd denigrated' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'HIDDEN' is hidden in the letters of 'telegraph id denigrated'.

(Other definitions for hidden that I've seen before include "Concealed, having been put away secretly" , "Consealed or secret" , "Latent" , "behind closed doors" , "Obscure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
