Expected frame in package? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parcel

'package?' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'expected frame' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'par' (as in 'par for the course').
'frame' becomes 'cel' (I've seen this in another clue).
'par'+'cel'='PARCEL'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for parcel that I've seen before include "Something wrapped up in package, as for posting" , "'Bundle, package (6)'" , "plot" , "Piece (of land); something to post" , "Pack" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
