Eclipse on display, when crossing middle of meadow (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overshadow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eclipse' is the definition.
(I know that eclipse can be written as overshadow)

'on display when crossing middle of meadow' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'display when' becomes 'show' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'when' bit.).
'crossing' indicates putting letters inside.
'middle of' indicates the central letters.
The middle of 'meadow' is 'ad'.
'show' going around 'ad' is 'shadow'.
'over'+'shadow'='OVERSHADOW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overshadow that I've seen before include "Dwarf" , "Cast gloom on" , "Eclipse" , "Dominate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
