Escape into secluded avenue back there (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evade

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

'escape' is the definition.
(I know that evade is a more specific form of the action escape)

'secluded avenue back there' is the wordplay.
'EVADE' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'into' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evade that I've seen before include "Dodge or equivocate" , "Escape (something)" , "Dodge, keep clear of" , "Artfully dodge" , "Escape (esp. by guile)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
