Drifting around chasm (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rift

'chasm' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'drifting around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'RIFT' is hidden within 'drifting'.

(Other definitions for rift that I've seen before include "cleavage" , "Lack of harmony" , "Breach or quarrel" , "Breach or crevasse" , "Cleft or fissure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
