Crossword Genius

Girl in Sinclair Island (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iris

'girl' is the definition.
(girl's name)

'in sinclair island' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'IRIS' can be found hidden inside 'sinclair island'.

(Other definitions for iris that I've seen before include "Flag or flower in the eye" , "Fleur-de-lis" , "Eye diaphragm" , "Flag - flower - girl" , "--- Murdoch, author" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
