Crossword Genius

Dull sound from detachment huddled (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thud

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

'from detachment huddled' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'THUD' is hidden in the letters of 'detachment huddled'.

(Other definitions for thud that I've seen before include "Low dull sound as of blow" , "Sound of a heavy fall" , "Clonk" , "Clunk" , "Sound of heavy blow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
