Crossword Genius

Doctor in Brighton (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rig

'doctor' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in brighton' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RIG' is hidden in the letters of 'brighton'.

(Other definitions for rig that I've seen before include "Oil-drilling device" , "Arrange the outcome of by means of deceit" , "uniform perhaps" , "Fix; equip" , "set-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
