Explain her effort to hide inside this (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inhere

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

'this' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'explain her effort to hide' is the wordplay.
'to hide' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'INHERE' is hidden within 'explain her effort'.

'inside' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inhere that I've seen before include "Dwell" , "Be a necessary element - at this place" , "Exist permanently as part of" , "Exist essentially" , "Belong essentially" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
