Fool given temporary accommodation is happy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

content

'is happy' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'fool given temporary accommodation' is the wordplay.
'fool' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in another clue).
'given' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'temporary accommodation' becomes 'tent' (people stay in a tent temporarily).
'con'+'tent'='CONTENT'

(Other definitions for content that I've seen before include "Gist" , "Satisfied - subject matter" , "Satisfied, happy enough" , "Elements" , "Peacefully happy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
