Fylde in the end behind Orient (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eastern

'orient' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fylde in the end behind' is the wordplay.
'in the end' says to take the final letters.
'behind' becomes 'astern' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'fylde' is 'e'.
'e'+'astern'='EASTERN'

(Other definitions for eastern that I've seen before include "Asian" , "Indian perhaps" , "Coming from the Orient" , "towards the sun" , "See 11" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
