Edit a clue that's tricky to get word finally made clear (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elucidated

'made clear' is the definition.
('elucidate' can be a synonym of 'make clear')

'edit a clue that's tricky to get word finally' is the wordplay.
'that's tricky' is an anagram indicator.
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'word' is 'd'.
'edit'+'a'+'clue'='editaclue'
'editaclue' anagrammed gives 'eluciated'.
'eluciated' placed around 'd' is 'ELUCIDATED'.

(Another definition for elucidated that I've seen is " explained".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
