Fixed firmly in surroundings (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embedded

(Other definitions for embedded that I've seen before include "Inserted as an integral part, journalist with a military unit during a conflict, say" , "Became fixed" , "Deeply implanted" , "Set in" , "Firmly implanted" .)

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